Hutt Aviation is the FBO on the field. Very courteous, but if you're in need of a heated hangar, be prepared to spend $100 a night in the winter! When a change of plans required we stay the night and I needed my little 172 ready to fly first thing in the morning (overnight temps were below zero), they were able to accommodate, but it was pricey.

Great airport, but keep in mind fuel at KMEV is only available as full serve between 8am and 5pm seven days per week. The self serve fuel service was pulled at KMEV around December 2010 and there is no solid plan to get it replaced to date. Other airports in the area have 24 hours self serve options if you need to arrive/depart outside of the 8am to 5pm window. I agree with the earlier comment about the great instructor staff at Flying Start Aero.

Flying Start Aero has a great instructor staff and reasonable prices for instruction and renting - highly recommended!
