Joe Vaughn Spraying Airport sits near Kress, Texas. Field elevation is 3,500 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,900 ft long and surfaced with dirt. The runway is rough. The threshold for runway 17 is displaced to clear the county road and to account for the dirt runway length. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 4,500 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in open country with a 9° magnetic variation. Expect a non-towered rural field where runway condition and obstacle clearance matter more than convenience.
Published remarks call out a 30-foot power line near runway 17. There are also 25-foot buildings near the runway 35 end. A 5-foot fence runs west of the centerline along the full length of the runway. Fort Worth ARTCC handles clearance delivery. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services directly before you go. Jet A is for agricultural aircraft only. For a first-time arrival, the main things to brief are the rough dirt surface, the displaced threshold on 17 and the nearby obstructions at both ends.
