With two long, non-intersecting runways, the Greeley-Weld County Airport (KGXY) in Colorado attracts pilots notching hours for proficiency on blue-sky days like flies to a picnic—or a patty, if you acknowledge that the prime business of the surrounding area is beef.
Owing to its position on the flatlands east of Colorado’s Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, it’s a prime location for practice approaches as well. You can sample just about every flavor at hand, from the ILS or LOC Runway 35, through a slew of RNAV (GPS) procedures to every runway end, to a VOR-A off of the Gill (GLL) VOR for those coming in from the northeast.
