Rusk County Airport sits in Henderson, Texas. Field elevation is 441.9 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 4,005 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 1,442 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The on-field FBO is Rusk County Airport. It carries 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours.
A few runway notes matter here. Runway 12 and runway 30 both have faded markings. Runway 12/30 also has extensive cracking. That makes a careful taxi and takeoff brief worth doing before you roll. For IFR planning, clearance delivery is handled through Fort Worth ARTCC. If you need current operational details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly. This is a non-towered field with published approach and departure frequencies through Longview. Expect normal self-announce traffic on CTAF and plan your arrival with the runway condition in mind.
