Look for $9 introductory fares. Allegiant currently operates out of Williams Gateway (Mesa, Arizona). The former T-38 Talon Air Force Base offers 3 parallel 10,000 Ft runways. When I was younger and visiting the area, I recall watching a C-5 Galaxy doing touch-and-goes on the center runway. I wonder if Spirit will open a pilot base in the area???? See the story below:
