Which airport is in class G airspace?

Class G is the uncontrolled layer of airspace that sits from the surface up to the base of the surrounding controlled airspace, which is usually either 700 or 1200 feet AGL. An airport is in Class G when there’s no controlled airspace over it reaching the surface or down to a lower altitude to hold instrument procedures. Byerley is a small, non-towered field with no published instrument-approach procedures that extend controlled airspace down to the surface, so the airspace around it remains Class G from the surface up to the base of the overlying Class E. The other airports—Greenwood, Vicksburg, and Tallulah—lie under controlled airspace boundaries (either within Class E areas that start at a lower altitude or inside a Class E surface area or near a tower), so they are not in Class G.
