Big Spring/MC Mahon-Wrinkle Airport sits in Big Spring, Texas. Field elevation is 2,572.8 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 17/35 at 8,803 ft. Runway 06/24 is 4,601 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 3,572.8 ft MSL based on the published field elevation.
Galaxy FBO is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also say full-service and self-service fuel are available. The airport remarks note that prairie dogs are on runways and taxiways. Sandhill cranes cross in spring and fall. That matters for taxi and takeoff planning. Runway lights on 06/24 and 17/35 are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to brighten them. The same CTAF call also activates the steady-burning approach lights on runway 17.
This is a high-elevation West Texas field. Expect density altitude to matter, especially on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any other operational notes before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584.
