Mid Valley Airport sits in Weslaco, Texas. Field elevation is 69.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 6,002 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning a low-visibility arrival. Check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach data before you go. The field is in the lower Rio Grande Valley, so expect a flat coastal plain environment with little terrain relief. The runway lights on 14/32 are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity. Use the same call to activate runway 32 runway end identifier lights.
Weslaco Mid Valley Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL fuel is available 24 hours self-serve. The airport manager can be reached at the number listed in the Chart Supplement if you need current field details before arrival. There is also a reported 30-foot pole 315 feet northeast of the helipad, so keep that in mind when you are taxiing or operating near that area.
