WOKAL FLD/GLASGOW-VALLEY COUNTY sits in Glasgow, Montana. Field elevation is 2,295.9 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 5,002 ft. Runway 08/26 is 5,000 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 traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field uses magnetic headings with 11° variation. That matters when you brief the runway numbers. It also matters for your wind correction.

Valley County Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (406) 228-2719 for current service details before arrival. Published remarks also note that runway end identifier lights are on runways 08, 12, 26 and 30. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways and are controlled on CTAF. PAPI is available on all four runway ends. Surface condition is unmonitored from 2000 to 0600. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach flight service, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.

For a first-time arrival, the big items are the non-towered setup, the high field elevation and the lack of published ILS. Plan your arrival with the current Chart Supplement. Expect to self-brief the runway lighting and surface condition.
