Yoakum County Airport has two paved asphalt runways: 03/21 at 5,001 feet by 75 feet, and 17/35 at 3,924 feet by 60 feet. Both are usable for typical business aviation traffic given the field's low annual operations count.
Yoakum County Airport (F98) offers only 100LL fuel; Jet A is not available on the field. Operators requiring jet fuel should plan an alternate stop, as the airport's attendance schedule is also irregular rather than continuous.
Yoakum County Airport does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs clearance point is KLBB, located approximately 57 nautical miles away, so operators arriving from outside the US should plan clearance there before or after landing at F98.
