Overview
Crawford Airport (99V) is a public-use, non-towered field in Crawford, Colorado, sitting at 6,470 feet elevation roughly 37 nautical miles from the nearest metro area. The airport's primary runway, 07/25, is a 4,900-foot paved strip, supplemented by a 2,500-foot turf runway oriented east-west. Business aviation traffic through this field is light, consistent with its designation as a modest general aviation facility serving the surrounding valley. Operators should note the terrain and obstruction environment around both runways before planning approaches, particularly given the field's mountain-adjacent setting and lack of standard runway lighting across the full runway length.
