- 6/30/15MICHAEL D.Visited ALX for work on my Sundowner by Mike & Rap (both great), met Mike Smith, heck everybody there you meet is friendly and ready to help on anything. Great place, good fuel price, put this one on your list.
- 5/28/14JAMES B.Stopped in to purchase fuel... KALX has the best prices around. Landed at a beautiful airport with impressive facilities.. fueled at the self serve pumps and departed without any hassles... BUT somehow left my cell phone... a quick call to Mike Smith…
