at Tradewind Airport

Friendly folks. Had a non-operational alternator. Taken care off quickly (broken crimp terminals) by Amarillo Air Service. Had a Big Texan steak with the cowboy limo. Holiday Inn has airport pick-up and a TDW rate. Recommended.

Very nice staff!! We flew in, bucking 25-40kt winds. They had us chained down before I even had my headset off! Had me fueled the next morning before I arrived, clean FBO, great service. Yeah, I paid the $6 overnight fee.... It was worth it!!!! Sometimes after a long day it's worth a buck to see a friendly face that truly knows aviation!! We'll be back!!!!!

Enjoyed my stopover at Tradewinds. Folks were very accommodating. I got a limo ride (complete with bulls horns on the hood and a cowboy behind the wheel) to the motel. Ate a steak the size of Texas at The Big Texan..Wheew! Had 25kt crosswind the following day for departure in my taildragger, I was told it's like this all the time so I cowboy'ed up and took off. You gotta love Texas! Thanks Tradewinds.

Stopped late one night. Carl took care of us; great guy. Came out next day to flight plan. No internet, "sorry". Got gas, and still charged us for $6 to tie down; "sorry". Nice people but....

Stopped in and was met at the plan with chocks. Very friendly and enjoyed the use of the courtesy car. Nice place to stop in and convenient to the rest of Amarillo.

Great Fuel Stop! Everyone was super friendly. When I asked for a quart of oil, they put the oil in my plane for me, great service. I'm sure I'll make this a regular fuel stop when I'm traveling that direction.

Great friendly airport! They put my new airplane in a hangar, called for a courtesy car from a hotel. A good layover airport!

I have flown into Tradewind one to two times per year for the last three years. Without question, this is one of the friendliest and most accomodating general aviation airports in existence. This past weekend when they received 12 or more inches of snow on Friday and Saturday was a perfect example. Before the snow stopped on Saturday, they had plowed the runways twice. They were out there again beginning at 5:00 AM Sunday until we were able to depart around noon making sure the runways and taxiways were clear. This kind of service is greatly appreciated as we noticed on our way back to Midland that several airports we passed hadn't been plowed at all.

Agee with what everyone else here has written. Friendly folks who come out to meet you as you taxi in. Very helpful. Fuel prices are moderate, not cheap, but for the service they provide, it's worth it. The offices at the FBO are a bit threadworn and run down but not overly so. All in all, a nice stopover. They do have discount rates with several of the local hotels, so be sure to ask where you can get a cheap room for the night.

Very nice airport. Customer service is very good. Thank you to all that waited on us! Fuel prices are very fair also.
