Matt Ward Posted May 14, 2020 Report Posted May 14, 2020 We're looking at a cross country and KJSV looks like a nice intermediate stop for a break: seems like a pretty area, long runway, cheap gas. It's near Fort Smith which appears to be less favorable to GA but could be a fine alternate. However, I can't get anyone on the phone or email at JSV? Anyone know the current state of affairs there, circa May 2020? Quote
Mark89114 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Posted May 14, 2020 I just bought gas there last week. It is a quiet airport. Never had to contact them. FSM has self serve gas on the southeast corner, just off taxiway Charlie at base of control tower. Also a bathroom there. Quote
Matt Ward Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks a lot @Mark89114 it appears gas at JSV is about $3 while the SS is about $4 at FSM! Quote
Cody Stallings Posted May 15, 2020 Report Posted May 15, 2020 I grew up there. You just wanting to know what’s going on there? I could call an ask some questions for you if you need me too. Quote
Matt Ward Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks but it’s not necessary. I just wanted to make sure it was legit before I landed there. Not too long ago I landed somewhere looking for cheap gas and it was a mess: terrible runway conditions and a $75 fueling charge! I kept going. Quote
The Other Red Baron Posted May 15, 2020 Report Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) The people are nice at Ft. Smith but you're right it is not GA friendly. KRKR is a nice stop too but the fuel isn't as cheap as JSV. Edited May 15, 2020 by The Other Red Baron 1 Quote
Shiny moose Posted May 15, 2020 Report Posted May 15, 2020 Not sure what you wanting for runway but cassville missouri 94K has cheap fuel 2.92 nice runway, no traffic, but a small single access ramp Quote

I have flown into Poteau many times, easy to get into and out, no radar coverage down low. Quote
