Stopped here for a two-night visit with family and could not have had a better experience. This might be one of the friendliest airports in the country. The personnel were welcoming and helpful right from the beginning. If you require hangar space, just ensure you call ahead. The FBO was excellent, and my six-year-olds had a blast playing with the old airport beacon light inside. Small details like that made the stop even more memorable. Strongly recommend landing here if you are looking for a pilot-friendly location to stop.

We experienced a last-minute weather diversion and arrived at Mineral Wells just as the FBO was closing. They were incredibly helpful arranging a rental car and securing the aircraft while we managed our children and located lodging. There are no amenities, but the runway is great—an excellent stopover point.

KMWL now offers self-serve fuel! We appreciate the team members who made this possible.

I have been flying in to Mineral Wells often since a friend moved there a couple of years ago. Super friendly and accommodating staff, quick service, and good fuel prices. Home of major autopilot manufacturing. There are some good restaurants and some very interesting places to see there including the Baker Hotel (in restoration), the Vietnam War Museum, Fort Wolters site, Crazy Water Hotel, “Famous Water” Well, etc. The town has a very rich history worth looking into online. Unfortunately, many of the grand old places of its glory days are no longer standing, but a revival is ongoing in preservation and restorations.
