Need Advice about KAMA, Amarillo

[AggieMike88]

After I drop the "outbound" dogs in Liberal, Kansas, I am picking up some dogs to take back to Denton in the Amarillo area.

Anyone have an advice about KAMA? Any Fees? What FBO to use? That sort of information.

I've used TAC Air a few times at KAMA and always had great service, but I've never stayed overnight.

A couple of years ago my buddy and I skipped KAMA and flew into KTDW for an overnight. At the time fuel was a lot cheaper than KAMA, and it looks like it still is: as of 1/10/14 100LL is 5.78 at KTDW vs. 6.55 at KAMA.

If memory serves one of the nearby hotels had a 24-hour shuttle (I believe because there's a lot of railroad traffic at odd hours?) so they came to get us when we called after landing. Unfortunately I can't remember which hotel that was - sorry!

Watch out for P-47 to the NE of both airports. Surface to 4800. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantex

Karen and I stopped at Amarillo on the way out and the way back from Page, AZ in our Sky Arrow.

Don't recall the FBO or fuel price, but there was a free shuttle to a nice hotel.

We spent an extra night there due to high winds in the mountains, and the hotel shuttle took us to a restaurant and movie theater and then picked us up.

Nice people.

I flew to Tradewinds a few months back, great service at the beautiful new FBO. They were building a restaurant there, too, may be open now.

I prefer Tradewinds, just because it's not as huge as the big Amarillo airport. I've had good friendly service at both places.
