April 21, 201015 yr Good news, especially for you AETC folks in Texas and Vance: The Million Air FBO's at Hobby and Fayetteville Arkansas just got the military servicing/fueling contract. Although EFD is close by, swing into HOU next time you're in Houston. We went through Hobby back in Feb, and it is top shelf: good flight planning, professional line crew, free snacks/drinks,... even the crew car is a BMW 5 series. FYV probably has the same, as this is a Million Air standard. The movie theatre is impressive too. The tower guys at Hobby are great, and give you whatever they can. Hobby has 7600', and Fayetteville's 6000' of runway. You T-38 pilots are out of luck at FYV, but HOU only requires a waiver of 400' of runway. Will AETC Wings do that? If you RON Hobby, they can book you a "boutique" hotel downtown, and get you a killer rate. Hobby's also where the CEO has his HQ. His name is Roger, and he loves military aircrew, so ask the front desk if he's around and talk to him. He's a pilot too, and great to get to know. ... and tell him the Beale guys sent you.

April 21, 201015 yr Million Air is definitely nice. It is hard to beat the cheap room on, the fllight line, with a large hot tub walking distance from the strip bar at EFD.
