March 19, 2026Best Aviation is the only place I’ll let work on my aircraft! Their team is awesome and has always gotten me out of a jam when I’m in a pinch! I just picked my plane up from them and they went way beyond what I expected! The fuel is always dependable, the restroom is clean, and the snack table stays stocked! Make sure to call ahead and see if the crew car is there; if not, Uber is usually no more than a 10 minute wait. They’re really a great example of how every FBO and shop ought to operate.

September 27, 2024Good spot for a fuel stop. They have the lowest 100LL costs nearby. During operating hours there is a fine pilots lounge with treats and cool bottled water. They also have very supportive mechanics during operating hours; they truly assisted me out of a difficulty during a fuel stop today and got me back in the air. The fuel hose is best pulled straight out, then dragged over to the big arrow fuel parking spot. Contact Bakersfield tower shortly after takeoff for Class D transitions northbound.

August 16, 2023We had an unanticipated overnight at L45 due to a gear issue. Jennifer helped us out and let us stay in the pilots lounge. Provided us a shower to use and towels. Good service from this fbo.

June 11, 2023Very fine FBO. Jennifer was good; friendly and helpful. She greeted us a little after closing time with cold water bottles. No fee after a 4 day tie down. The fuel prices were good as well. I’ll be back.

January 21, 2023Super fine folks, they have a crew car (older large SUV). Comfortable area, tidy facilities, nice restrooms, and inexpensive fuel. What else you require?

May 2, 2024Really good fuel stop. Everybody was very cordial and useful. Simple in and simple out. You can pull up parallel near the self serve and the hoses will reach without issue. I do think they offer maintenance there if you had a problem.

August 12, 2023Good FBO! We had a failing battery at Harris Ranch on our way to Catalina Island in our 182. Unsure who to contact for assistance, I found their number on ForeFlight. It was a huge relief when they asked how could they assist. They located a battery close by and had it ready for us upon arrival. Had it installed and sent us on our journey in under an hour. I was so impressed with the attitude of every person we interacted with. Fine pilots lounge and affordable fuel. Thank you !!
