Perry Flying Center recognized for fuel quality control excellence

Submitted PATTERSON — Perry Flying Center, the fixed-base operation at the Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport near Patterson, has received World Fuel Services highest recognition for aviation fuel quality control for the 14th time since 2000, a news release stated. Perry was recognized for its exemplary quality control procedures in receiving, storage and product testing documentation. “The most important commodities we retail are aviation gasoline and jet fuel,” said Ken Perry, president of Perry Flying Center. “The combination of World Fuel Services fuel, our highly trained and dedicated ground support services personnel and our quality control procedures ensure that our aviation fuel customers receive the very best clean, dry, on-specification fuel of the proper grade into their aircraft 100 percent of the time. “The delivery of aviation fuels may not be the most interesting thing we do,” Perry said, “but it is the most important. I made a commitment when Perry Flying Center opened that I would not sell anything to the public that I would not use in my own aircraft, with my family in it. PFC’s personnel, procedures and state-of-the-art equipment, along with excellent support from World Fuel Services, helps keep that commitment a reality. “I am proud of our more than 31-year record of excellent service to the aviation public of the gulf coast and St. Mary Parish, and PFC looks forward to many more years of first-rate service and quality products delivered to our customers and friends,” Perry said.
