One published remark matters for the rollout. Runway 26 has severely faded identification and touchdown markings. Clearance delivery goes through Mobile Approach at 251-662-6236. When approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. This is a non-towered field with simple runway layout. The main thing to brief is the lighting. Brief the faded markings on 26. You will be working CTAF for local traffic.
