3G2 field & runways
Grygla Muni - Mel Wilkens Fld, Grygla, Minnesota. Field elevation 1177 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 4.0°E on record, 1.5°E today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.039°/year west — about 1° every 26 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
