Johnson County Airport (KBYG) sits in Buffalo, Wyoming at 4,970 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 6,143 ft long and paved. The field is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 5,970 ft MSL. The airport has medium intensity runway lights on 13/31. PAPI is available on runways 13 and 31. REIL is published on runway 31. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Terrain drops off on both sides of runway 13/31. Runway 31 also has a steep drop near the left side of the first part of the runway, so pay close attention on landing and rollout.
Johnson County Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours by self-service credit card. For after-hours service, call the numbers in the Chart Supplement or the FBO directly. Pilot-supplied tie down ropes are required. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. This is a high-elevation field, so expect performance planning to matter on warm days.
