A couple months back I flew in for the weekend from KMYF. Memley provided great service and I would not hesitate to use them again. I needed to the some nitrogen in the right strut and they towed my aircraft two hangers down to the mechanic and when i arrived the next morning the plane was ready to go. Be aware Memley's fuel is a little pricey. Next time prior to filling up I will compare w/ Frank Ruiz prices.

12 / 15 / 2010: My home airport, if you a business or turist person, Memley Aviation is the place to go (FBO) , rental car, etc, restaurant onsite decent food (touch and go's) I use Memley Aviation (tell them Capt. Adjmir send you) for my own fast out of town business trips, good rental airplanes fleet overall, from light sport to private and "FAST" jet chaters flights, from basic to glass panel, frendly / family atmosphere, good crew of instructors. Jet A / 100LL available. Yosemite National Park entrance is only 55 min. / Millerton lake 35min., best restaurants / shoping in town (Riverpark area) 18min. I wish I had airport like this when I fly out.....

To get my corporate rate, I reserved Enterprise rental online. They picked me up from outside the administration building (Mak Cafe). Reserving through Memley Aviation maybe more convenient because you can pick it up and drop it off from Memley's. But not sure if they honor my corporate discount.

Landed late afternoon. Quite in the ground but busy in the pattern with T&G's. Well maintained overall. Another fuel option is the Chevron station at Frank Ruiz Avation --- their fuel station procedure seemed more straight forward than Memley's (somewhat complicated).
