Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD)

We had to divert here on 4/16/26 in a PC12-unfortunately, since the diversion happened, I never got the opportunity to call ahead and tell them we were on the way. We touched down at 6:05pm, even though they closed at 6pm. The crew was still around. They hit us with a $150 call-out charge for landing 5 minutes after closing-and, supposedly under their "policy," that call-out fee is CASH ONLY? I had two $100 bills, but he said they weren't able to give change. To me, it came across as extortion. In 6 years of flying professionally, I've never run into a cash-only call-out fee.

Crew here was good. Stopped for fuel they were on it right away. Ran in to town for a soda and a slice of pizza and was on my way. Terminal is very fine. Good fuel stop.

Good spot to stop. Run into town to get a sandwich at Julios!!!!!!

I transferred 2 Angelflight passengers today at BGD, I had not been to this airport in many years. Found the same superb service and fuel costs as always. We were marshaled to parking right away, fueled fast, and back in the air without hold-up. This is the finest spot to stop in the Texas Panhandle and the FBO facility looks as tidy and welcoming as when it opened many years ago.

Landed an Aeronca Champ (ferry flight) 1 minute before closing on a Saturday evening, and the lineman went out of his way to stick around and provide superb service past closing hours with an additional fee. Clean facility, helpful people.

BGD remains my favorite stop in the Texas panhandle. Fuel prices are excellent, the FBO is comfortable, and they always provide a car for getting around locally. The staff is friendly too.

Stopped for fuel at BGD on 2/1/26. I've been using this FBO for years on trips from Texas up to Raton, NM. The service is always top notch, the fuel prices are always the lowest around, and the facilities are really nice. There just isn't a better place to stop in the Texas panhandle.

I stopped here with my SF50 due to really low Jet A costs and the FBO having a standing for doing quick turns. I was NOT let down!

Arrived at BGD 5/13/25 shortly after 8:00 AM and was met by 3 smiling faces, topped off with fuel quickly, took a short nap before leaving for Raton, NM. My only issue with this FBO was they do not stock Dr. Pepper in their drink machine, but they supplied a crew car and directions to the nearest convince store for my DP. BDG has good fuel prices, friendly fast service. Recommend this FBO for anyone crossing the Texas panhandle.

Highly Recommend! Good FBO, inexpensive fuel at full service and fine people.
