What a great "quiet" little place. Stayed the night on a long cross country. Two courtesy cars. Stayed at the Lazy B Motel. Clean, cheap and safe. Afton is what I'd like to see more of in America. Less corporations and more unique mom and pop businesses. Good food at the Elkhorn Cafe. The local talk will be kids, cows and horses. Check out the photo of Jesus holding a shotgun. Only in Afton! :) I will return!
This airport has only 6 based airplanes and is losing more every year! The town of Wheatland should do more to promote and take care of this valuable piece of real estate!!! You'll be sorry if it goes away and someone in your family has an emergency and needs a Flight for Life to the nearest trauma center. Phifer Field has the potential to be so much better than it is if the town would only take some interest in it.
Afton Wyoming, home of the Aviat Aircraft factory. Ask for a tour of the factory and see how Aviat can rebuild a damaged aircraft or update an older model to "better than new".
There is a new FBO here, managed by the former Aviat factory test pilot. I hope to visit on my next trip West and will comment on the service.

Two of the runways, one heading north and one north-west, have X’s on them, since they have them I made those 2 runways closed for now.
Stopped here by chance
