Greenwood-Leflore Airport (KGWO) is a general aviation and regional airport serving Greenwood, Mississippi, offering a full-length ILS-equipped runway and air traffic control services. For simulator pilots it makes an interesting stop in the Mississippi Delta, combining a towered environment with the quieter feel of a rural regional field.
Greenwood-Leflore Airport, identified by the ICAO code KGWO and IATA code GWO, is a medium-sized general aviation and regional airport at Greenwood, Mississippi. It offers an ILS approach and a mix of hard-surfaced, lit runways, making it a useful and approachable destination for simulator pilots flying instrument or visual approaches in the southern United States.
The airport lies at Greenwood, Mississippi, at coordinates 33.4933, -90.0867, at a field elevation of 144 feet. The presence of a tower, ground and clearance delivery frequencies indicates that the field operates as a controlled airport with its own local air traffic control, working within the wider Memphis Center airspace structure.
The airfield has two physical runways. Runway 18/36 is a hard-surfaced, lit runway equipped with an ILS on runway 18; the published lengths are 6,514 feet from the runway 36 threshold and 5,264 feet from the runway 18 threshold. Runway 05/23 is also hard-surfaced and lit, with a length of 4,989 feet.
Pilots should expect the following frequencies: ASOS on 119.975 MHz for automated weather, CTAF/Tower on 118.35 MHz, Ground and Clearance Delivery on 125.55 MHz, Radio on 122.2 MHz, UNICOM on 122.95 MHz, and Memphis Center on 132.5 MHz for en-route and approach coordination. The field is served by an ILS approach to runway 18.
Greenwood-Leflore Airport traces its origins to Greenwood Army Airfield, a wartime military airfield, before its later development into the civilian regional airport known today.
Today the airport functions as a towered general aviation and regional facility, with ASOS automated weather observation and UNICOM available for pilots operating outside controlled hours or for general advisory calls. Pilots planning a visit should confirm current operating hours and any prior permission requirements before departure.
