General Dewitt Spain (M01)

Just got back from my first trip to Memphis, traveling with four other aircraft, and we kept all of them at Dewitt Spain. Justin was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond for us! That city has some really interesting history, plus the Elvis Presley Museum, of course. Great food, great music, and plenty of nearby attractions. Beale Street is a hoot and really gets going after dark. Memphis is definitely worth stopping at, and you should absolutely use this airport!

Really solid airport, and it’s only about a $10 cab ride from downtown Memphis. Fuel prices are good, and they don’t charge overnight tie-down fees for single-engine pistons. On departure with my three children, the battery in our Cirrus died and we couldn’t get the engine started. The nice guys working the line that day hauled out his GPU and gave us a jump start. We’ll definitely be back again, no question.

This is about the ideal GA airport if you're visiting Memphis. Runways and ramp are in great shape, fuel is easy and affordable, but the best part is the friendly staff, especially Justin. He comes out to greet you, will help move your airplane, helps with whatever you need, and really matches what he calls the 'laid back' culture. Airport is an easy Lyft ride to downtown. Memphis is worth the trip and Dewitt Spain is the right place to park.
