The standard traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL. That puts the pattern at 2,715.7 ft MSL. Avflight Minot is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a stop, that covers the fuel options confirmed in the facts.

A few operational items matter here. The airport sits in Minot. Expect a busy controlled environment when the tower is open. When the tower is closed, radio-equipped aircraft must announce on CTAF 118.2. The published remarks also call out deer and birds in the area. Runway 08 has a noted approach clearance slope from the displaced threshold. Taxiway edge reflectors are marked on E, B2, F and A. If you need current noise, curfew, or airspace details beyond what is listed here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
