Glasgow Valley County Airport Wokal Field
Glasgow Valley County Airport, known by the code GGW and officially named Wokal Field, serves Glasgow in northeastern Montana. Located in a sparsely populated agricultural region near the Fort Peck Reservoir, GGW provides essential air connectivity for a community otherwise far removed from major highways and cities. The airport has historical ties to a former Air Force base that once operated in the area during the Cold War, leaving behind infrastructure larger than the town's current needs would typically warrant. Today GGW primarily supports small commercial flights under the Essential Air Service program, along with general aviation tied to farming, ranching, and recreational access to the reservoir and surrounding prairie.
