[edit] Facilities

The airport has no facilities. An abandoned terminal building, including a defunct control tower, sits on the southeast corner of the airport. It is locked and has nothing to offer to visiting aircraft.

An area east of runway 17/35 and north of the abandoned building is used by local RC model aircraft enthusiasts to fly model aircraft.

[edit] Runways

The only runway, 17/35, is in poor condition and the surface is cracked and scattered with stones. Vegetation grows through cracks.

An abandoned runway intersects runway 17/35. Its direction is approximately 8/26, it is roughly 2500 ft. long, and its surface is asphalt, in extremely poor condition.

[edit] Transit

The airport is accessible by road from Old US Highway 131, just north of the intersection of Old US Highway 131 and US 10. The airport is also adjacent to the freeway US 131, accessible from US 10.
