In and out today with our Turbo Commander N900NE and had the 'best of' everything. Thanks folks. Well done.
 

From Robert Jones on 25-Oct-2009

Excellent service as always. Plenty of free cookies and ice tea never hurts. :o). Fast turn around. Will be back.
 

From Greg Ellis on 07-Oct-2009

Flew in on September 17, late at night around midnight. Excellent service. They made time for my wife and I in our Mooney. They even held a rental car for us when we found out at last minute that budget messed up with ours at the Downtown Airport. This was a great place to stop. Thanks.
 

From Michael McCurdy on 22-Sep-2009

I've been here several times and have never had less than excellent service. I am usually flying a Saratoga but they treat me as if I had come in on a G5. Always friendly, always helpful, because of this FBO, I search out the other TAC Air sites at other airports.

Flew into Knoxville last Saturday (5 Sep) for the football game. Was late arriving because of weather at our departure point. Was meet at the plane by 3 individuals who helped us unload our bags, get our rental car, and even loaded everything into the car. Awesome job TAC AIR...We will definitely be back!

Alternator failed while flying from OH to FL. Landed and pulled right up to maintenance hangar and they FIXED IT ON THE SPOT!!!! EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!! A+++
 

From Jim Vick on 01-Jun-2009

We landed in Knoxville after a long flight from Chicago. We had diverted due to weather and were in a hurry to beat the weather to our final destination. A couple of twins and a jet or two on the tarmac and we still got first class service. We did not realize that they had SS, so we went with FS and paid a little bit more, but, was well worth the delta. The line crew was very attentive, the counter group as focused and we were turned around in no time. All in all a nice facility with good people.
 

From Mike Quayle on 16-Apr-2009

Stopped for fuel and rest on a trip from Florida to Indiana. Everything was quite busy but we got right in for fuel and a quick turn. The staff was right on top of everything and got us right out. I will be back.
 

From Bahadir Acuner on 11-Feb-2009

Stopped for a quick fuel and ended up staying for 2 hours because of weather. They provided us with crew car for a late late dinner that we needed bad. We ended up using their self-serve. Despite all that we were treated like we came in with jets. Good job guys!!
 

From Steve Ely on 03-Dec-2008

I called ahead and then stopped at TAC Air on Dec. 2 for fuel around 1 PM local, while delivering a new 172S from the Cessna factory to a buyer in Virginia. Got great service along with a ride down the road by a pleasant employee to grab a sandwich for lunch. Didn't feel the least bit rushed and was still on the way about 45 minutes after arriving. I had previously stopped here several months back on a rainy night for a layover. Parking under their "drive through" overhang was great and they didn't charge a ramp fee for overnighting as well as hangaring the airplane. Not the cheapest gas within 75 miles, but they treat you very professionally regardless of the type equipment you are flying.
 

From James Clifton on 06-Oct-2008

Good service. Had our rental car waiting on us. Self serve fuel was the advertised $5.35 per gallon. Easy to access and use.
 

From Robert Jones on 24-Sep-2008

Brought several pax to the Gators/Vols game. TAC Air was busy, but service was excellent. Nice facility even provided pizza to the pilots during the game.
 

From David Reinhart on 19-Jun-2008

Better fuel prices than at some less fancy facilities. Park under the awning to unload, lots of help with the bags, etc. Rental car waiting. The only problem is with the traffic on Rt. 129 next to the airport. The traffic is horrible and residents drive like madmen.
 

From Doug Preston, Sr. on 22-Apr-2008

Went to TAC Air today to pick up 2 poxes. Nice facility and nice folks....... But the fine for a 20-minute stay was $175 for a Citation 1 put them about #2 behind Signature. Will try to avoid them in the future.
 

From Rich Melvin on 20-Mar-2008

Visited TAC Air on 3/19 in a King Air C90A. The weather was constant rain all day, so their under cover ramp was a blessing. The good folks at TAC Air treated us VERY well. We had a minor avionics problem on the way to TYS. Jonathan at Horizon Avionics was able to take care of it on short notice and didn't even charge us for his work. I felt like I arrived as a stranger and left as a friend.
 

From Carlos Urbizu on 30-Dec-2007

My passengers were impressed upon arrival. We were directed to park under a roofed area. The lineman waited patiently while I unloaded all the luggage and helped carry inside the lobby where the friendly girls directed us to freshly baked cookies. We were starving. Departure was on Christmas day. Their skeleton crew was great. They fueled our plane and charged SS rate, there was no tie down fee for the 3 nights we stayed. Will definitely be back.
 

From Charles Jensen on 24-Dec-2007

TAC Air is the new owner of the FBO. They try harder and it shows. Big improvement over prior spotty service and a disinterested attitude. Good 100L prices now with the new SS fuel and middle of the pack for FS fuel for mid-sized airports. Head of the pack for service and convenience.
 

From Peter Campbell on 01-Oct-2007

Beautiful facilities and friendly staff. They didn't know we were coming until we were on the ramp, but a lineman immediately led us to parking and we were refueled before we had unloaded our baggage. Outstanding service for a busy Saturday and a 172. We'll be back.
 

From Jay Sandridge on 08-Aug-2007

We stopped in KTYS on our way to Virginia to see family. I called Marla and told her that we were running late due to weather. She couldn't have been nicer. She knew who I was because I faxed her our info. She said that they would be waiting for us. We arrived and the line crew parked our Arrow under the canopy next to the front door. They help us with our luggage and Marla took the time to direct us to a new Ruby Tuesday right across from the airport. It was next to our hotel. She even let us borrow the crew car without my request. The bottom line here is first-rate, friendly service. Great job everyone at TAC KTYS. I'll be back!
 

From Chris Huff on 28-Jun-2007

This has to be one of the nicest FBOs I have ever been to. Friendly and attentive counter and line personnel. Fresh cookies. Ultra modern facilities. The only glitch was a missed fuel order, which was quickly corrected. First class operation all the way.
 

From Christopher Allen on 22-Jun-2007

Great airport! Friendly staff had no problems with flying in a small plane but they didn't seem to be very busy at all. Very nice Ford Taurus courtesy car. Will come back to TYS.
 

From Michael McCurdy on 22-Jun-2007

I've been here several times and have always been treated well, despite the size (small) of my aircraft. The counter people are friendly and helpful, the fuel prices are reasonable, the facility is modern and clean, and they bake fresh cookies all day long. It can't get much better than that.
 

From Jim Gilpin on 28-Mar-2007

Stopped at TAC Air last week for a quick stop refuel from Austin to Boston. Parked under the canopy, the fuel truck and the GPU were waiting. I went inside, gave a credit card, went to the bathroom, and they had my ticket waiting for 150 gallons of Jet A when I returned. I walked out, started up and was off.... Total time 8 minutes!!!! Best quick turn I ever saw.
 

From Bobby Hickman on 20-Dec-2006

Stopped by Tac Air today for fuel. People behind the counter were nice but seems like they forget about you if you’re in a small plane. I don't expect anything crazy in the way of service, but it would be nice if I could get my plane filled up in less than an hour.
