Weather Briefing
VFRHunt Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 17 knots with gusts to 31 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 17-knot crosswind component (gusting to 31 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of -11°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Hunt Field
Overview
Hunt Field serves the Lander, Wyoming region as a medium airport situated at a high elevation of 5,586 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 42.815201, -108.730003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Wyoming, supporting regional transportation and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.9% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences west-prevailing winds averaging 7.4 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 51 knots. Temperature ranges from -15°C to 31°C, creating variable seasonal flying conditions with the most favorable VFR months being September, October, and November.
Notable Features
The single runway 03/21 is 5,000 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The high elevation of 5,586 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer temperatures and with higher density altitude conditions. Wind patterns show a calm frequency of 21.1%, indicating potential for variable wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.7 knots. Typical visibility averages 9.8 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3SM in only 0.8% of observations). Pilots should anticipate west-prevailing winds and plan approaches accordingly.
