Hot Creek Aviation

at Mammoth Yosemite Airport

From John Lundberg on 22-Oct-2009

Expensive airport to visit. They charged me a $35 ramp fee + $35 overnight fee . I was only there for 12 hours and they charged $70. $35/night - I wonder what they charge per month for a tiedown. AVGAS is extremely pricey at close to $6/gallon. Beware.

Anyone wondering where the self-serve fuel is located? It's adjacent to the departure end of runway 9.

I have to agree that the prices are steep, but nice facility and very friendly/helpful staff. What used to be a cafe is presently more of snacks and drinks self-serve, but one step up from a machine. "Follow me" cart was there as we exited the runway to guide us to transient parking and provide help with securing the plane. Rental car keys were at the desk upon arrival. If you like the area for hiking/fishing, but not the bustle of Mammoth Lakes town, check out Convict Lake -- Across the highway and only about 3 miles from the airport -- A great place to kick back for a few days.

FBO, Hot Creek Aviation, charged a $15 ramp fee for a short stopover. Fee was not published in airfield/facility directory as of 12 Mar 2009 issue.

I've been to Mammoth several times since it re-opened in September 2008. The brand new runway is perfect and that also goes for the newly paved taxiways. The new ASOS is a big improvement, and it now reports metars into the system and they come up on NEXRAD. All of the airport staff continues to be as friendly as any pilot could ask for. Just let them know what you need, and they'll try to take care of it. The new commercial terminal is nice, and Horizon Air flights to Mammoth from LAX start 12/18/08 with one round trip a day during ski season. Fuel is still expensive, but you might be able to negotiate.

Wow, what a fuel rebate program! Got to love those gift cards. Thanks again for the great service! And the follow up. The gift card I wanted wasn't available so they mailed it to me. And even called me to confirm that it had been mailed!

Great views. Gusty crosswinds make for a sometimes-lively landing. Very helpful FBO-kept rental car keys at the desk with car on the field. No ramp fees. Pricey fuel but why fill up at a high, hot airport anyway.
