RWY 35

Holly Airport (K08) sits in Holly, Colorado. The field elevation is 3,399 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 4,140 ft long and surfaced gravel-dirt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 4,399 ft MSL. The runway lighting is nonstandard low intensity and is controlled by CTAF. The published remarks also note that runway 17/35 has surface obstruction lights that remain in place. Fences are near the runway. Powerlines are off the runway 35 end. Runway 17 also has nearby embankment, road and fence obstructions close to the end.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For fuel and attendant service, call the Town of Holly or Lamar Dispatch before arrival. The remarks also say the runway can be soft when wet. That matters here. Plan for a careful surface check and use current field conditions before committing. Clearance delivery is handled through Denver ARTCC. The airport sits in open country, so watch density altitude, wind and surface condition closely on a warm day.
