- 1/15/23Thomas S.we flew into Benson on Saturday and we’re very impressed with the airport. There are no rental cars or courtesy cars available but a call to Roy and he sent his daughter over with a pick up truck to be used as a courtesy Car to get into town to have …
- 9/21/22Kevin G.This used to be a great example of a small-town GA airport. Unfortunately, the city of Benson has removed the very friendly and helpful, family-owned FBO. Many local pilots are recommending a boycott of the city-run fuel service, which is now the onl…
- 6/6/18Jim M.Roy's still there and providing outstanding service. Discounts on fuel for telling him a "clean" joke that makes him smile. Courtesy car is available (I recommend the Horseshoe Cafe in Benson). Had my plane serviced by Roy and Eric, good job for a…
- 1/19/15CHARLES B.The great service continues. Stopped in for a weekend, Roy lent us the Astro van for two days for free, and charged us $3.75/gal for 100LL. And a bottle of pop was free. The runway is smooth and well-marked, and the ramp's in excellent shape with goo…
- 12/5/21Southwest Aviation, Benson AirportGeoffrey B.Airport is in very good condition (runways and taxi and parking). Southwest Aviation (Roy-owner) is excelllent and a very kind/honest person. Best fuel prices, probably anywhere in the US, are from fuel truck service provided by Southwest and Roy.

- 3/28/13ANTON C.Wow. Recommended by a friend I had to stop to checked it out. From a courtesy car for the entire stay to a fuel discount for a good joke, another fuel discount as a weekend price (middle of the week), the great hospitality and friendliness of Roy, th…
