Mustang Airport (2CL9) — Galt, California
Mustang Airport, identified by FAA Location Identifier 2CL9, is a privately owned general aviation airfield located approximately six miles north of Galt in Sacramento County, California. Sitting at an elevation of 45 feet above mean sea level at coordinates 38°20'03.69"N, 121°18'12.82"W, the airport occupies roughly 160 acres of flat Central Valley terrain in the heart of California's agricultural heartland.
The facility is owned and operated by The Hangar LLC, managed by Kevin Pitto (contact: 209-810-4606), and has been in continuous operation since its activation in December 1992. It is designated for private use only, meaning pilots must obtain prior permission before landing. The airport is unattended — there is no on-site staff — and a wind indicator is available on the field to assist with pattern entry decisions.
Runway and Infrastructure
Mustang Airport features a single asphalt runway designated Runway 7/25, measuring 4,000 feet in length and 40 feet in width. Both runway ends use a left-hand traffic pattern, which is standard for uncontrolled fields. The asphalt surface is maintained for light general aviation aircraft. No fuel services are available on-site, so pilots should plan fuel stops accordingly — Lodi Airport (CA18), located approximately 8 nautical miles to the south, and Sacramento Mather Airport (MHR), roughly 13 nautical miles to the north, are the nearest public-use airports with services.
Airspace and Communications
Mustang Airport operates under uncontrolled Class G and E airspace. There is no ATCT (Air Traffic Control Tower) on the field. The airport falls within the Oakland ARTCC (KZOA) boundary. Pilots should monitor the common traffic advisory frequency when operating in the pattern. The nearest VOR navaid is Sacramento VORTAC, approximately 13 nautical miles distant, broadcasting on 115.20 MHz, which provides a reliable ground-based navigation reference for IFR-equipped aircraft transitioning the area.
Automated weather is not published from 2CL9 itself. The nearest official weather reporting station is Sacramento Mather Airport, accessible on frequency 118.325 or by calling 916-366-3371 for current conditions and METAR data.
Regional Context
Galt sits in southern Sacramento County, bounded by the cities of Elk Grove to the north and Lodi to the south, with the Delta waterways to the west and the Sierra Nevada foothills to the east. The area is predominantly agricultural — stone fruit orchards, row crops, and dairy operations define the landscape surrounding 2CL9. The Central Valley's flat topography and generally favorable VFR weather make this a productive environment for light aircraft operations and private flying.
For pilots flying into the greater Sacramento region, Mustang Airport serves as a convenient private strip for property owners and agricultural operators in the Galt-Lodi corridor. Nearby commercial air service is available at Sacramento International Airport (SMF), approximately 25 nautical miles to the north, which handles major airline traffic for the region. For general aviation with full FBO services, Sacramento Executive Airport (SAC) and Mather Airport (MHR) are the most accessible alternatives offering fuel, maintenance, and pilot amenities.
The broader Bay Area aviation network includes Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) approximately 50 nautical miles to the southwest — a busy general aviation hub in Alameda County offering full services, instrument approaches, and a flight school. Pilots planning cross-country routes through Northern California frequently use Livermore as a fuel and rest stop given its proximity to the Bay Area and the Central Valley.
