South Big Horn County Airport sits in Greybull, Wyoming. The field elevation is 3,941.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 16/34 at 7,003 ft. Runway 08/26 is 3,953 ft. 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 traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a higher-elevation part of Wyoming. Terrain rises 1,066 ft above airport elevation 4 to 5 miles north and northeast of the field. That matters for climb performance and departure planning.

On the field, South Big Horn County Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. B & G Industries carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport remarks also say 100LL is available 24 hours a day by credit card. Full service is available. Phone ahead or contact the airport manager before you count on it. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 16/34. PAPI and REIL are installed on 16 and 34. REIL is controlled by CTAF. Antelope are on and near the runway, so keep your scan active on taxi, takeoff and landing.
