TRI-STATE / MILTON J FERGUSON FLD sits in Huntington, West Virginia. Field elevation is 828.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 12/30, which is 7,017 ft long and asphalt. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published, one for runway 12 and one for runway 30.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at about 1,828 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Huntington Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (304) 453-6165 for current service details.
A few local items matter here. Pilots have reported a fuel burning stack about 2 miles west of runway 12 that can be mistaken for approach lighting at a glance. Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. Runway 30 PAPI is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline. There is also a fee for aircraft unless fuel is purchased. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. The airport has been in service since before 1959. Expect a mature field layout and normal towered-airport traffic flow.
