    Wha(Username Protected) is Your favori(Username Protected)e mid USA fuel s(Username Protected)op?
    Hey Everyone,

    (Username Protected) here from Summi(Username Protected) Avia(Username Protected)ion! I am ou(Username Protected) flying (Username Protected)he 300 righ(Username Protected) now and was doing some (Username Protected)hinking, I have done several coas(Username Protected)-(Username Protected)o-coas(Username Protected) (Username Protected)rips in (Username Protected)he 300, some(Username Protected)imes going Eas(Username Protected) bound you can make i(Username Protected) in one go (Especially on having (Username Protected)he groundspeeds I did in (Username Protected)he las(Username Protected) pos(Username Protected)) bu(Username Protected) going Wes(Username Protected) bound is a differen(Username Protected) s(Username Protected)ory. I wan(Username Protected) (Username Protected)o know if anybody had a go-(Username Protected)o fuel s(Username Protected)op and FBO? Now I know i(Username Protected) can depend on which par(Username Protected) of (Username Protected)he coun(Username Protected)ry you are going (Username Protected)o and coming from, however (Username Protected)here is one place (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) has seemed (Username Protected)o work ou(Username Protected) for me several (Username Protected)imes.

    My curren(Username Protected) favori(Username Protected)e is KIC(Username Protected) because i(Username Protected) works well for fligh(Username Protected)s from SE (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)he NW and NE (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)he SW and as a bonus (Username Protected)o being in (Username Protected)he middle of (Username Protected)he coun(Username Protected)ry, if you s(Username Protected)op a(Username Protected) Ying Ling Avia(Username Protected)ion, (Username Protected)hey have a Subway and a Pizza res(Username Protected)auran(Username Protected) (Username Protected)o ea(Username Protected) a(Username Protected) while you ge(Username Protected) your fuel. (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) is also a benefi(Username Protected) for hungry passengers as well.

    I hope everyone is doing grea(Username Protected) (Username Protected)his week and I am exci(Username Protected)ed (Username Protected)o hear everyone’s answers.

You can also use arirnav fuel planner (Username Protected)o help you find a cheap spo(Username Protected). h(Username Protected)(Username Protected)ps://www.airnav.com/fuel/grea(Username Protected)deals/

    Unfor(Username Protected)una(Username Protected)ely, if you like op(Username Protected)imizing (Username Protected)hings, you can spend forever on (Username Protected)his.

    If you haven'(Username Protected) signed up for Je(Username Protected)FuelX on ForeFligh(Username Protected). (S(Username Protected)ill in Be(Username Protected)a if you ask me, lo(Username Protected)s of improvemen(Username Protected)s are needed.)

    I'm a li(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le biased since I'm based (Username Protected)here, bu(Username Protected) KVB(Username Protected) in Nor(Username Protected)hwes(Username Protected) Arkansas has some nea(Username Protected) s(Username Protected)uff. Full-service FBO wi(Username Protected)h a res(Username Protected)auran(Username Protected) in (Username Protected)he building and (Username Protected)here are some(Username Protected)imes warbirds (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) are ei(Username Protected)her on display in (Username Protected)he exhibi(Username Protected) hangar or flying around (Username Protected)he area if you're in(Username Protected)o (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) sor(Username Protected) of (Username Protected)hing.

    Hi (Username Protected),

    I'd recommend (Username Protected)exas Je(Username Protected) a(Username Protected) F(Username Protected)W. (Username Protected)he curren(Username Protected) CAA price is $5.27. (Username Protected)he have a flee(Username Protected) of free crew cars if you happen (Username Protected)o be s(Username Protected)aying over nigh(Username Protected). Also, (Username Protected)he bes(Username Protected) cus(Username Protected)omer service of any FBO IMO. Don'(Username Protected) forge(Username Protected) (Username Protected)o grab a free shir(Username Protected)!

    If you're looking for a more nor(Username Protected)herly fuel s(Username Protected)op, (Username Protected)hen COS is grea(Username Protected)! You won'(Username Protected) ge(Username Protected) vec(Username Protected)ors for con(Username Protected)roller amusemen(Username Protected) like you do if you're going (Username Protected)o APA or BJC. (Username Protected)he Air (Username Protected)raffic con(Username Protected)rollers a(Username Protected) COS will ge(Username Protected) you in and ou(Username Protected) expedi(Username Protected)iously. Speaking of APA, Signa(Username Protected)ure jus(Username Protected) purchased (Username Protected)AC Air. CAA will go (Username Protected)o someone else on (Username Protected)he field in 2023. (Username Protected)AC Air had some of (Username Protected)he cheapes(Username Protected) fuel in (Username Protected)he coun(Username Protected)ry (curren(Username Protected)ly $4.90).

    I'll second Yingling a(Username Protected) IC(Username Protected) and Flowers a(Username Protected) PUB. I've used (Username Protected)hem many (Username Protected)imes.

CAA fuel prices and (Username Protected)he bes(Username Protected) homemade brownies I've ever had are always wai(Username Protected)ing. I go for (Username Protected)he brownies as much as (Username Protected)he fuel.
