“Sun Valley Aviation is the best FBO in the Rio Grande valley and one of the best in the country. Pat Kornegay and his wife, partners, sons and daughter have built the most successful enterprise on the airport at KHRL (Harlingen).”

Patrick Tyler

“Sun Valley Aviation is awesome! Excellent FBO, great facilities, I came in from out of town and everyone was so friendly & professional going above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Michael, their flight instructor is top notch, one of the best CFIs I've worked with! I'll be back next time I'm in the area.”

Hans Kettenhofen

“Employees are very helpful. Spoke to the young ladies over the phone several times and they were never annoyed with my many questions and concerns. They always called back when they said they would. Their facility is welcoming and clean. They certainly have our comfort in mind. I definitely recommend this place for all your aviation needs.”

Daisy Gonzalez

We were in and out of here several times in September and October this year. All first class and exceptional customer service, this is true across the board, from the line guys to the receptionist to the maintenance crew."

Andy Smith

“Amazing experience! Pilot Michael was super nice, went over everything for the flight and everything we were doing so it was easy for me to understand. Great views, beautiful reception area and set up inside, awesome customer service all around. Couldn't say enough nice things!! Thank you so much!!”

Heather Wille

"Pat and his team do a fantastic job! This is what great service looks like! I wish more FBOs had this level of service."

Tad Wintermeyer

My son loves airplanes and would like to become a pilot. Bought the Discovery Flight for him to enjoy. Had to reschedule a few times due to the weather but well worth the wait. Staff was very friendly over the phone and once we got here they showed the same professional mannerisms. Place is very well organized and clean. Our pilot was very friendly and ready to serve.

Isaac Gonzalez

"Great lobby with many amenities. Super clean, well maintained. Free ice cream and cookies and.. you name it. Friendly helpful staff."

Bill Brendel

"Received my training for Private Pilot there and the whole staff is awesome. Also every pilot that stopped for service, fuel or the hanger for a weekend at the Beach were all treated like VIP's."

Robert Norman

“The linemen here on the weekends are excellent and very helpful and friendly even on Sunday evening at 6pm or so. Hanger accommodations and ramp spaces are limited but very accommodating and plenty of room for us. Will be using this FBO in the future and very thankful for all the friendly staff.”
