KLKR field & runways
Lancaster County-Mc Whirter Fld, Lancaster, South Carolina. Field elevation 486 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 7.0°W on record, 8.0°W 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 0.04°/year west — about 1° every 25 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
