Yazoo County Airport

at Yazoo County Airport

Flew to Yazoo County Airport on September 27, 2009 for a morning flight around the Jackson, Vickburg, and Yazoo areas. The fuel price was higher than what was shown on AirNav.Com of $3.85 on 9/26/09. The actual price was $4.40 when I top my tanks. I was a little disappointed, but happy not to pay the $5.00 at Jackson International where my Cessna C150 is parked. The 87I airport pilot center, conference room, and restrooms are very clean. I enjoyed my third visit to the airport and I look forward to visiting it more often. Minor note to the airport manager- I noticed a large amount of loose rocks on the taxi way. Bad thing for "we" pilots prop.

Not a bad experience. BEWARE OF CROP DUSTERS!!!! These guys do not listen or talk on the radio. Maybe they had their avionics replaces with a good ole' CB radio or something. Also, the Crew Car runs well but no Air Conditioning and the MS summer is brutal.

Solo cross-country to Yazoo Airport on March 19, 2009 from Hawkins Airport. Best to land using runway 17, it is clear of trees while on final. There is a tail-wheeled crop duster aircraft that flew very low (about 200-300 AGL) landing and taking off every 10-15 minutes; forget using your COM, it has right way. It used 17 for take off and 35 for landing for the four hours that I visited. I did some afternoon fishing along the riverbank east of the airport. I got some mid-sized catfish. Yazoo is a nice airport and the little county office with bathrooms was nice and clean. You can refresh yourself and buy some snacks. I enjoyed the visit.

Stopped for lunch and fuel. Nice little airport but the fuel pumps were broken and no signs indicated it. So we had to fly to Jackson for gas and paid the price. There are little to no services here so beware!
