Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers Intl is in Jackson, Mississippi. Field elevation is 346.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Both are 8,500 ft long, so the field has plenty of runway for most GA and turbine arrivals. The tower is open 1200-0500Z++. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runways 16L and 34L.
Atlantic Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. This is a busy controlled field with Class C service on the published approach frequency. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. The remarks also show military operating limits. Transient aircraft need 48-hour prior permission. Limited parking is noted. If you are arriving after the tower closes, lighting is activated on CTAF. Runway 34L uses the MALSR. Runway 16R and 34R use REIL. Runways 16L/34R and 16R/34L have HIRL. The field sits in a flat metro area. Plan for ATC coordination, runway selection and the military procedures in the remarks.
