HF STRIP is in Fowler, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,567 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 2,585 ft of turf. The runway is the longest strip on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 3,567 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The published remarks say to contact the manager at THUELS26@ICLOUD.COM. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Verify services with the airport operator or call ahead before you go.
This is a small turf strip, so surface condition matters. Check the current Chart Supplement and get a local look at the runway before you commit, especially after rain or when the grass is soft. With no tower and no published ILS, this is a simple VFR planning airport. Use the CTAF early, keep your pattern tight and confirm the field is usable for your aircraft before departure.
