Pryor Field Airport Authority - Pryor Flight Center

We’re still riding high from an incredible week at Pryor Field!

Last week, PFAA had the honor of serving as Stop #4 for the 49th annual Air Race Classic, the legendary all-female cross-country air race, and we’re thrilled to share that Pryor Field was voted BEST STOP by the pilots!

We welcomed 40+ teams to North Alabama with the kind of hospitality we’re proud to be known for. From refreshments and airport swag to cool spaces for flight planning and relaxing between flights, our goal was simple: to make every pilot feel right at home.

-Need a crew car? We had it.
-Need a ride to the hotel or even Buc-ee's? We made it happen.
-Need a snocone break after a hot day on the ramp? Covered.

This recognition means so much because it reflects what Pryor Field is all about—service, community, and going the extra mile.

A huge thank-you to our amazing volunteers who helped make this stop unforgettable. You helped show these pilots why Pryor Field is truly the Gateway to North Alabama.

Congratulations to all the racers! Check out this year’s race results at AirRaceClassic.org.

We are grateful for ALDOT Aeronautics’ support and investment in our facilities!

Did you know Alabama's public-use airports support emergency response, business travel, tourism and economic growth across the state?

To help keep these facilities safe and operational, ALDOT has awarded more than $2 million in airport improvement grants to nine local airports.

From runway improvements to critical infrastructure upgrades, these investments help keep Alabama connected.
