South Big Horn County Airport (GEY)

South Big Horn County Airport (GEY), also known as Greybull Airport, is a prominent general aviation facility located in northern Wyoming. Situated near the city of Greybull, the airport is well-known in the aviation world as the former headquarters of Hawkins & Powers Aviation and serves as a major base for aerial firefighting operations and aircraft storage. The facility features a substantial 7,000-foot paved runway, making it one of the most capable regional airports in the Big Horn Basin, supporting everything from private recreational flights to large corporate jets and government utility missions. The terminal environment at GEY is designed for functional and efficient general aviation use. The airport features a modest terminal building that provides essential traveler services including a pilot's lounge with a 'snooze room,' public restrooms, and a flight planning area. While the facility lacks the commercial retail and diverse dining options of larger Wyoming hubs, it offers a professional atmosphere for visiting aviators and passengers. On-site services include aviation fueling (both Avgas and Jet A), aircraft maintenance, and ample hangar and tie-down parking, reflecting the airport's role as a key technical hub for the regional aviation community. Ground transportation from South Big Horn County Airport is straightforward, with the city center of Greybull located just a few miles away. Travelers can access on-site car rental services or coordinate private vehicle pickups, as there is no formal public bus or rail service directly serving the airfield. As a single-terminal general aviation facility, there are no inter-terminal transfers, and most connections involve direct transitions between private aircraft and ground transport within a compact footprint. Visitors are advised to coordinate their arrivals in advance, as the facility is often unattended, and to take the time to explore the unique collection of historic large aircraft often parked at the site, which have made Greybull a destination for aviation enthusiasts.
