This is a GREAT place to stop! Stopped in 11/14 on the way back to St Louis from Orlando. Very nice runway and taxiways, some of the cheapest fuel prices I have seen anywhere, a super clean facility and very nice staff. Sammy's is excellent with great service, nice people, and good food. Just taxi up and chow down. I wish there were more places like this one. I will definitely be back!

Pell City now has self-serve fuel! They already had some of the most competitive full-serve prices in the northern half of Alabama. Now their self-serve prices are even cheaper, 50 cents cheaper! At these prices, this will definitely be a regular fuel stop for me. Their Jet A prices are also one of the cheapest in the state. Thanks to the staff & management of PLR for making general aviation a little cheaper for us to enjoy!

Check your NOTAM's! The RNAV 3 and RNAV 21 are unavailable until 12/17/09. Some controllers have been clearing the approach, others have not. This is an FDC NOTAM.
Response from Larry Davis, St. Clair County Airport
Self serve fuel now available 24 hrs. RNAV 3/21 back in service.

I stopped at PLR for fuel on the way down to Tampa from STL. The service was great; the price was $3.65 for 100LL. Clean FBO with flight planning etc. We were offered free drinks and sent on our way with good southern hospitality. Kudos to the staff!

Diverted here (due to thunderstorm) on an early Saturday morning to fuel up. Beautiful and well-maintained airport near a river - quite a sight to see (boat houses and docks) while in the pattern. Unicom responded to my traffic call. Quick service and nice FBO. Will stop here again.

Sammy's is a great restaurant. The fuel service is another story. I pulled up to the pump and no one came out so I fueled my plane and went inside to pay. No one was around. After a few minutes someone came in and said he would call Sammy's to see if someone from the FBO was there. A few minutes later someone came in and asked if he could help me. I told him that I got some fuel and needed to pay for it. He said, "You did, from where?" I told him from the fuel tank out front. He said that they did not really have Self Service. Well they sure don't have full service. As he walked outside he said "I guess there's a gauge on the pump." I was starting to wonder where this guy came from. They could sell more fuel if they installed a self-serve system and lowered the price to be more in line with other airports around. I ended up paying $4.40 a gallon. North at Decatur fuel was only $4.09, $3.80 up here in Kentucky. I won't be buying fuel there again, but I will eat at Sammy's again.
