This was an interesting airport. It looks like an old WWII field from some of the buildings. The FBO was very helpful and the guy was there to refuel my plane as soon as I pulled up to the pump. The FBO hangar is huge and although there's plenty of planes inside, it looked as if there was more room if you needed it or there's plenty of tiedown spots out front. There is a crew car available, but there aren't any restaurants close. I took a peek inside the snooze room and it's an old building with a couple of couches. There's also another room inside the terminal with a TV and places to sit. There's not really much in the way of a flight planning area. I didn't have any problems talking to Memphis center. I cancelled at about 2, 000' on the way in and picked up my IFR shortly after takeoff on the way out. The frequency is about 50 miles away so it's probably not a good idea to pick it up in the air if the ceilings are low.

Not your average country airport. Small waiting room, of course, but clean restrooms, fast service, and a smooth (recently sealed and marked) long, wide runway. Yes, the low fuel prices are for real. There are several crop dusters using the field, and they don't all have radios - keep your eyes open. Regarding IFR, you'll need substantial altitude to reach Memphis Center - definitely more than 1, 000 feet.

We stopped at Clarksdale en route to and from RDU from our home in ABI in our Citation 501. As reported, everyone was very helpful. Fuel prices were quite low on the way up, but jumped a great deal a few days later on the trip home (almost a dollar). Nice runway with little traffic. Easy to get in and out. Fast refueling. All in all, it is a very nice VFR and possibly light IFR stopover and we will probably use it again.

May 22, 2009-Hutch is what help at a small airport should be. T'storms were in the area-he made room in the hangar. We were looking for a cab-he loaned us a car. Hadn't been to Clarksdale in 30 years-he helped with directions and entertainment suggestions. I had to depart on a tight schedule-he was at the airport early. And gas wasn't bad either.

Fantastic airport. Hutch always makes us feel very welcome and is more than willing go the extra mile to help us out. Jet A prices can't be beat either.

This friendly airport gives new meaning to the term "laid back". Got help with refueling and parking. Used the Courtesy car to drive into town for lunch at the Ground Zero Blues Club (about 9-miles). Great experience. The courtesy car probably has a few more trips into town left in it.

We are in Clarksdale several times a year, and the service is always outstanding. On more than one occasion, Hutch has gone out of his way in order to ensure that our passengers are taken care of. You never know what to expect at small airports like this, but CKM is a nice little airport with great service and good fuel prices. Stop in and see Hutch!

Stopped in with our T-34 on 17 October for quick and friendly service. Folks couldn't have been nicer.

On Oct 6 stopped for fuel and got delayed for a day while a weather front moved through. Bob Rush helped us get an Enterprise rental car, help put our Glastar in the hangar, and made our time at the airport totally pleasant.

I visit Clarksdale often; we are always greeted by "Hutch". He always greets us with a smile and with exceptional service. He meets our needs over and above what we could ever ask for. Hutch always goes the extra mile so that we get what we need and it's always a very pleasant stop in Clarksdale. It's a great place to drop in and visit. Thanks Hutch!!

My brother and I were barnstorming the blues trail, and made the requisite stop in Clarksdale. "Hutch" is a terrific individual who took care of us. Got our bird after hours into a hangar, he helped us with our Sunday Enterprise car return, and it’s hard to beat their 100LL prices. In town the Ground Zero Blues Club is a must stop.

Stopped here overnight on a ferry flight from CA to VA. The airport manager, Hutch is terrific - very personable and accommodating. Since Enterprise didn't have anything available that day I was able to borrow the crew car to get to my hotel. Fuel is very reasonable and they have plenty of hangar space to accommodate overnights, it was nice to be able to hangar the plane for the night. Airport Manager is also a highly experienced A&P-IA with repair facilities on field. Clean facilities and a very nice runway. Be sure and stop by the Delta Blues Museum and the Ground Zero Blues Club while in town. Food and drink prices there are very reasonable - down home southern Delta cooking. Highly recommend this stop.

Typical small town FBO in a sleepy Delta town. Nice people, decent facility. Not a lot of services.

This small FBO was extremely courteous and accommodating. I hangared my Cherokee and expected to pay the $10 fee, but the FBO mgr was so apologetic about my poor experience with the local Enterprise Car rental office, he waived the fee. Office computer and phones available for weather brief, but call before arriving to confirm their hours. Bathrooms were acceptable. I made private arrangements with Enterprise before landing, and worried myself sick whether they'd be there for me on a Saturday just before 12 noon closing (they were, after two phone calls). I suggest advising all Enterprise Car rental offices you want car fueled beforehand—it might help!! Or, better yet, DO NOT rent from this Enterprise location. FBO mgr. recommends the local auto dealer to rent cars from.

I flew into Clarksdale last week to meet some family. Airport was in good condition. I didn't use/need any services, but the staff was there if needed, and seemed real friendly. My family said the attendant was real hospitable while they were awaiting my arrival. He let them listen on the Unicom/CTAF frequency to hear my arrival. The city of Clarksdale is going downhill, but there's some great Blues history there. Recommended eating - Abe's Bar-B-Que or Madidi's.
