From Don Grimes on 15-Jul-2008
You can't go wrong with either FBO here, but Desert Skies's strategy seems to be to keep their FS price a penny below D2's SS price, so why not? Good fuel stop.
 
From Dan Decker on 26-May-2008
These guys are great, gave me a 10-cent discount off the price of avgas when they were already 10 cents less than the other FBO. Very friendly, helpful, gave us a golf cart ride to and from our plane with full service fuel. Nice building with nice computer workstation and lounge. I was very impressed with their service. This was over Memorial Day weekend, 2008.
 
From Paul Bruce on 07-May-2008
I have a covered tie down at Havasu and have had for years. Unfortunately it usually is only protecting my pickup, as we don't get there as much as we used to. This week I came in on a Friday evening only to find someone's car parked in my spot..... Bummer. The guys at Desert Skies were amazingly helpful. They actually put my plane in their hangar for a couple of days until the offender returned and DS put my plane back into my spot..... And all at NO COST!!! So not only do Andy and the rest of the crew do an amazing job of providing fuel at some of the lowest prices around but also provide a level of service that hasn’t been seen (in my opinion) for many years!!! Try it for yourself and hopefully you will get the same treatment that I have been getting for every time I am there!!!
 
From Bob Stacy on 09-Apr-2008
Stopped at HII for the weekend; excellent service with friendly and helpful people, not to mention the great fuel prices. When leaving had a mechanical brake problem and had to return to the parking area. Helped me get the bird to a tie-down area and offered "whatever they could do for me". Different days, different people, always same great service.
 
From Gregg Beaty on 18-Feb-2008
I have had several visits since last posting and no change in the excellent service. Lowest 100LL in the area. AirNav price $3.78 but filled for $3.58. I come light and return to San Diego with full tanks. The change from Sun Western was seamless for us pilots. Friendly, helpful and a nice facility. I highly recommend using Desert Skies. Thanks again to everyone. SR-22 N8148F
 
From Travis Taylor on 23-Jan-2008
Very nice people. I kept a Cessna 310 there for a few months for flight training. They always treated me great when I came out on the weekends. Loaned me a car when I needed to go to town and treated me like a rock star even though I wasn't flying a Gulfstream.
 
From Ron Hart on 06-Jan-2008
Very friendly and helpful staff w/ nice warm facilities where you can drink coffee or hot chocolate by the fire while your plane is serviced.
 
From Tony Cox on 19-Nov-2007
We were met at the plane with cool water & a smile. Excellent all around. John the General Manager says that soon there will be a coffee shop/snack bar on the field, which will make this a fine stop for the $100 hamburger crew. Especially since KIFP is less exciting now since their terminal moved to the east side of the field. Town is about 8 miles away, but John has a fine crew car he'll let you borrow. Be kind and top it up when done.
 
From Mike Okeeffe on 20-Sep-2007
Desert Skies has recently re-done sun western and Wow, what a difference. They finally have crew cars and the inside is very nice. Gas prices remain very good and we are always taken care off by Andy there. We will continue to go there anytime we go to HII!
 
From Brian Reynolds on 06-Sep-2007
Sun Western is now Desert Skies Executive Air Terminal. They have completely refurbished the interior, bathrooms, and lobby area. They now have two crew cars, the golf carts are now RED instead of blue and there will soon be a deli and coffee bar. The fuel prices are guaranteed to be the lowest prices on the field and they still have the same great employees and service. Don't forget...Follow the RED cart to fuel savings.
 
From Roger Vanderwindt on 21-Jul-2007
As a frequent visitor to Lake Havasu, Sun Western Flyers is my one stop shop. The gang there always provides top-notch service. Andy and crew are ready to go with quick turn arounds when needed. I frequently stop for fuel from Phoenix to California on my return trips, as it's hard to beat their fuel prices. It's worth the stop for the friendly service which is getting harder and harder to find these days. Keep up the good work guys & gals at SWF, I promise to get you up in the 195 one of these days, when it cools down. When at Havasu I always remember to follow the blue golf carts. The complimentary ice cold water is great too!
 
From Bud Risser on 29-May-2007
Stopped for fuel between SFO and ABQ because of the guarantee. Found super people, great service, loaned me someone's new Jeep to go to lunch... Doesn't get any better!
 
From Chris Young on 20-Apr-2007
Hey what a good time I had stopping at Sun Western for fuel. I am a student pilot on a cross-country, I was very nervous about landing at HII because the winds started to increase. The fueler and a lady by the name of Brenda help to calm me down an did a fast refuel to get me on the way home before any rain moved in. So if anyone needs fuel or service stop at Sun Western you will not forget these people and again Thanks.
 
From Larry Wasem on 16-Apr-2007
Flew into Lake Havasu on Friday, 2007-04-13, to gas up for a trip on to eastern Arizona. The terminal weather looked really bad my wife and I decided to stay for a while. I asked Andy if they had a courtesy car and he said no, but pulled out the keys to his personal pickup and told me that we ought to take an hour or so to see the London Bridge. We later decided to stay the night and the Sun folks quickly got us a Hertz rental brought over to the front door. Great people and great gas prices.
 
From Robert J. Allen on 08-Mar-2007
Top of the line service and impressed with the entire crew. This is the best facility on the airport. Brenda will go out of her way to help with your needs. When in Havasu, Sun Western Flyers is the way to go.
 
From Richard Hamilton on 21-Feb-2007
Add me to the list of happy pilots. I've been going to HII quite a few times recently and always-great treatment. Out on the line, the guys are real good. Computer room in the back is the best place to catch some shuteye if you need to.
 
From Gregg Beaty on 13-Feb-2007
I flew into HII last Friday afternoon and was greeted by Andy who helped me tie down and button up the plane for the weekend. My Hertz car was waiting for me at the front door. Upon returning Monday, the plane was re-fueled and ready to go. I specifically call Sun Western on Unicom for the great service. Call Pam in advance for any special needs and she will help with you arrangements. Great fuel prices also.
 
From Dr.Joe Majerus on 09-Feb-2007
Follow the blue hospitality cart. You will not be disappointed! All the people at Sun Western flyers are great. Extremely attentive to your needs and very helpful. The best part of all is that they have the least expensive fuel at the airport, and they bring it to you! What more could you ask?
 
From Randy Hart on 26-Jan-2007
Having used both FBO's, there is no question that Sun Western Flyers provides the best customer service in Lake Havasu City. Their linemen are the most knowledgeable I have ever encountered and Brenda and Pam go far and beyond to help with whatever you may need. When in Havasu, follow the blue golf carts.
 
From Wade Fairbourn on 17-Jan-2007
I fly into HII about twice a week. I have been to both FBO's and by far the best service on the field is Sun Western. Many times I have not purchased fuel, but still get the same great service. Most times I get parked right up front, and I am always greeted professionally. Fuel prices are very competitive and the coffee is hot and fresh all day.
 
From John Parker on 05-Jan-2007
Flew into Lake Havasu and thought it was funny there was two different follow me carts. So I followed the blue one. That was my first mistake. The FBO looked like it was a dump and the people would rather talk about themselves then do their job. So if you fly into Havasu don't go to Sun Western try the other FBO. I did.
 
From Jay Shawv on 02-Jan-2007
Flew into lake havasu and after my previous experience with d2 I chose instead to go to Sunwestern. This is the best service I have ever had... Fueler met me at the plane and had me fueled in under 10 minutes... And the fuel was cheaper than D2! The ladies and gentlemen behind the desk were very helpful and I highly recommend Sunwestern over D2aero... Follow the blue golf cart!
 
From David Nicholes on 15-Nov-2006
I have been coming to Sun Western Flyers with our company Citation now for over three years and have consistently found their service above average and their fuel prices below average! Brenda has a "can do" approach to any request you can give her. They make the ground part of flying a pleasure. Thanks again for your help, see you next time!
 
From Bill Roberts on 08-Nov-2006
Came to LHC on the way to AOPA in Palm Springs. Chose Sun Western based on previous good experience. Unfortunately my partner did not. He ended up paying more for fuel than I did. Cannot say enough good about these folks, especially Brenda. Prompt, courteous and professional service is the norm. Highly recommended.
 
From Chris Rolando on 31-Oct-2006
Two years ago after showing up ten minutes BEFORE the workday ended at Sunwest and facing a hefty charge if I wanted fuel, I based my plane at A09 until D2 opened. Maybe someone was having a bad day, but that is just not customer service. And since gas is always about the same price at both places, I'll pass on Sunwest.
 
From Marty Koeth CE-S550 on 25-Oct-2006
Top rate personnel. Very friendly and helpful. What impressed me the most is how careful they are with your airplane. It is the only place I will ever go at KHII.
 
From Brian Haines on 19-Oct-2006
An outstanding FBO with CHEAP fuel prices! Best of all, Brenda is back. It so nice to see her cheery face and courteous hospitality. If you want outstanding service with cheap prices, give Sun Western a try.
 
From Russel Gilman on 24-Aug-2006
I fly a Prop-Jet Bonanza and was returning to KSEE from McCall, Idaho and needed a fuel stop. I knew from previous visits that Sun Western at Lake Havasu had low fuel prices and the airport would be easy to get in and out of. I called the Lake Havasu unicom frequency about 20 miles out and a nice friendly voice provided me with Sun Western's unicom frequency. I let them know that I needed Jet-A fuel and was looking for a quick turn around. Upon my roll out to the taxiway, the "Follow Me" cart was waiting and directed me to the front of their building. By the time I had shutdown and exited the airplane, the fuel truck was already in position. In the amount of time that it took my wife and I to walk to the office and visit the restroom, the plane had been fueled and the bill was ready for me to sign. We were off and on our way in what seemed like 15 minutes. Great service Lake Havasu Sun Western, thank you, and the Jet-A fuel price was $1.50 per gallon less than McCall Aviation.
 
From Brian Thompson on 23-Aug-2006
I had a very different experience from the previous posting here - my experience was very good. Good fuel price, a cool FBO (air conditioners do break, you know) and excellent service in the early morning to get me going with a flat battery. Thanks to all. PS no fuel on the wing either.
 
From Mike Halsey on 30-Jul-2006
I made a visit here in a King Air a month ago. Besides dumping fuel all over the wing, the FBO was hot. The Air Conditioning wasn't working. My boss has now recommended we use the other FBO next time we come in. We will never use this place again.
 
From Jim Gand on 26-Jun-2006
I had a very good experience at Sun Western yesterday, June 25, 2006. The fuel was the advertised price and the service very good. Joe was helpful with ice and all were very courteous.
 
From Andrew Foutz on 20-Jun-2006
In a recent trip, we stopped over in Lake Havasu. Joe and his staff were very friendly. We stopped back on our return flight. I left my cell phone there. There was a message on my voice mail before we got home from Joe telling me were my phone was. Highly recommended thank you.
 
From Mike McGee, 1954 T-Bone on 19-May-2006
Had an unscheduled flight to Sky Harbor and an immediate return back to CA landed @ Sun Western Flyers for fuel and a quick bite. Jo and his staff parked me right up front and jump started our dead bat on the airport car 3 times before it would get us out of there. What incredible service and great fuel prices. Thanks.
 
From Michael Duringer on 16-May-2006
Come to HII once to twice a month, best fuel price in the Southwest! Add to that a superb operation due, mainly for its outstanding personnell. Can't say enough about Joe and his staff.
 
From Dan Robertson on 08-May-2006
Stopped at Sun Western for a cross-country fuel stop, due to the best prices in the area. Joe at the counter, and Jeff in the truck, made me feel like I was at home and had me in-and-out in a jiffy. I really appreciate the service, and I will be back!
 
From David Link on 27-Apr-2006
Made a fuel stop here. It was well worth it. Great fuel prices and service. My plane is a fueling challenge. A couple of words to the fueler and he did a perfect job. I'll be back! Thanks Joe.
 
From Ken Calman on 10-Apr-2006
After making inquiries about the $8 ramp fee charged me on March 24 it was graciously refunded to me by Sun Western Flyers.
 
From T. Kent Sanderson on 04-Apr-2006
I stop at Sun Western in Lake Havasu two to three times a week. Their service is always quick and if there is room, you can park up front. They will give you a water bottle on a hot day, and bend over backwards to help you out. Brenda always talks to you and will help in any way she can. Joe is a great guy and even has the fuel truck waiting when he hears your N number on the unicom. These guys are great! DON'T follow the green golf cart!! Sun Western is the FBO to use at HII.
 
From Ken Calman on 25-Mar-2006
Not needing fuel I was charge a ramp fee of $8 for having parked there about 2 hours Friday, March 24, collected by Sun Western.
 
From Gary Ardesson on 25-Mar-2006
As a student pilot I need all the help and support I can find and find it I did, at Sun Western. They are great people and they kept our club rental plane ready to go every day. The airplane is kept full with gas and in great shape by Sun Western. They are helpful, courteous and very very friendly. You could not ask for a better place or better service. Thanks to all of you at Sun Western.
 
From Kent A. Humber on 25-Feb-2006
I have made multiple stops in Lake Havasu City and have always been very happy with the service from the folks at Sun Western Flyers. The staff is extremely courteous, helpful, and friendly ... And they have the best price on Jet-A on the airport. They are the place to go if you are in the area and need fuel with some great hospitality.
 
From Bill Northrup on 21-Feb-2006
Just visited. People are great and hospitable... Watch out for the "other FBO on the field"!! They come out with their Green carts and try and get you to follow them even though you want to go the Sun West... Follow the Blue carts..
 
From Ken Calman on 31-Jan-2006
Please add Pam to the roster of cheerful, helpful folks at Sun Western. What a great place to stop. It only stuns me that this perfect airport in such a beautiful place doesn't support a restaurant.
 
From Michael Driggs on 02-Jan-2006
Great service, as always. The folks at Sun Western in Havasu are top notch. "Amber" is always happy to see me, and greets me before I even walk through the doors. Lowest Fuel prices at the airport. Flight planning room, computer, etc.
 
From David Westner on 20-Dec-2005
Great folks. Very helpful. Helped me find a cheap motel and called the bus for me--which charges 3 bucks each way to where ever in town. Looking forward to returning.
 
From J. Hull on 27-Nov-2005
Stopped in over the weekend for a quick visit to the London Bridge Resort. Brenda made 3 or 4 calls and finally determined that the Resort would send a free shuttle to pick us up. Every FBO should have someone with her cheerful and helpful attitude.
 
From Bill Rhodes on 03-Nov-2005
Excellent FBO. Courteous service, good gas price, and a nice facility. Will be back again!
 
From Mike Okeeffe on 27-Oct-2005
I fly to HII a good amount and wouldn't even think about going elsewhere. If Brenda is working that day, consider yourself a lucky person as she is so much fun and will do anything in her power to take care of you. Also, you can't pass up on the cheapest gas on the field. Sun Western flyers has my business any time I go to HII!!!
 
From Michael Duringer on 08-Sep-2005
Stop in on occasion as an air taxi operator. Always met with prompt, courteous service, as well as one of the lowest fuel prices in the Southwest. In a rush yesterday, I left some very important documents in my briefcase on the lobby couch! Brenda was kind enough to FedEx the case after securing it for me. Add integrity to an already outstanding facility! Thank you, Brenda and Sun Western Flyers.
