Airport Information
Merkel Field Sylacauga Municipal Pilot Reviews:
Keselman, 6.
April 11, 2025Flew in to visit relatives. Fine tie downs are right by the self service fuel tanks. Nicely appointed terminal, even a shower in the restroom! Fine helicopter pilot based at the field helped to close my flight plan... because I forgot AGAIN! Didn't need the courtesy car since relatives meet us there. We enjoyed Good OLE Boys Bar B Que just off the airport. Simple to spot from the air, field is situated between Merkel Mountain to the north and 5 or 6 quarries to the south and town/highway to the east.
