South Alabama Regional Airport 79J Pilot Reviews

Affordable fuel and welcoming personnel. Two courtesy vehicles were available, and the nearby town, offering many quick-service restaurants, was just a five-minute drive away.

Very nice FBO facility featuring friendly personnel and competitive fuel rates. A courtesy vehicle is provided, and they can transport you via golf cart to a cafe situated across the runway. Watching the helicopter traffic was quite enjoyable.

February, 2025 - An overnight stop was slightly delayed by morning fog conditions. The FBO building offers 24-hour access, featuring a comfortable couch and reliable WiFi. A decent crew car is also available for overnight use if a hotel stay is preferred. Manager Ken was extremely helpful, providing excellent local recommendations. We observed significant Army helicopter traffic throughout the day and evening. There were no charges assessed for overnight tie-down services. The self-serve 100LL fuel was reasonably priced. This location is highly recommended!

Delicious catfish!! Requested ground assistance via Unicom while on final approach, and one of the line personnel arrived with a golf cart to transport us to the cafe near the helipad. A charming southern buffet offering some of the finest catfish I've encountered in the US. Affordable AVGas coupled with on-site dining—I will certainly return.

Excellent fuel stop! The 24-hour self-serve pump functioned perfectly, and the FBO contacted me via Unicom to confirm if I required assistance. The FBO's restrooms and the flight planning/break area are accessible around the clock.

The staff here is very welcoming and professional. My only minor suggestion is that adding some vending machines for snacks would be beneficial.
