Southwestern Aviation (E95)
Benson, Arizona

“Flew in late on a June evening and Roy, the FBO owner, was quick to get out of bed at 1 a.m. and fuel my plane. He gave me a 1955 Dodge Coronet for a courtesy car, set me up at an excellent hotel and arranged an FBO discount. Had one of my best night’s sleep and woke up at 6, got breakfast and Roy met me at the FBO with a smile and was always asking if there was anything more I needed. I will definitely put Benson, Arizona, on my next trip. Great FBO, great service and friendly people.”
