Zangger Vintage Airpark is in Larchwood, Iowa. Field elevation is 1,478 ft MSL. This is an uncontrolled airport with one CTAF, 122.9. There are three turf runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 3,146 ft. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,478 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 13 has a displaced threshold that starts 1,828 ft from the approach end. Runway 31 has a silo obstruction near the runway and is marked with yellow cones. Runway 13 is also marked with yellow cones.

This field is closed from December through February. There is no snow removal. That matters here because all three runways are turf. The published remarks also note that clearance delivery goes through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. If you need current operating details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly. There are no on-field FBOs listed.
