Talladega Municipal Airport ASN

Great airport. Alwaus friendly staff. Never know who you might see walking through.

Yes it's an older building, and yes the fee is $100 on race weekend - BUT - you can't beat the crew of people who work there. If you have a problem or don't like a fee you GO SEE THE MAN IN CHARGE!!nBest group of homegrown people around. Make a friend there and they are your friend for life. Jim never forgets a face - all around - you won't find any place better.

Flew in for the fall '16 race and was charged a $100 landing fee for a small single engine plane. They parked us at the very edge of the airport property in the grass. Leaving in the evening the lady told me they had had 63 aircraft operations that day. So why was I parked at the end of the world on the grass with no one else around? and why was I charged $100 landing fee when any other weekend of the year there is none? They wonder why their aircraft arrivals on race weekends is down - well it's because you're pricing it out of the GA market. Departing was just as bad. The FAA hands you your IFR clearance in the terminal. I departed VFR for faster departure and was told I could not open IFR in the air within 40 miles of BHM due to workload.nnI was in Tuscaloosa the day before for the Bama v.TAMU game. $25 ramp fee (every day of the year) with over 300 aircraft operations on Saturday. VFR departure picking up IFR in the air - that's how you handle a huge sporting event, NOT what Talladega is doing.

Great Service the crew is Awsome
