Location
Wink, United States
Winkler County Airport (IATA: INK, ICAO: KINK) is a public-use general aviation airport located near Wink, Texas, in Winkler County. Situated in the heart of the Permian Basin oil country, the airport primarily serves general aviation traffic, private aircraft, and oil industry operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 2,914 feet above mean sea level in the arid West Texas landscape. It features runways capable of accommodating a range of general aviation and charter aircraft, serving the energy sector and local community in this sparsely populated region.

City & Place Guide

Tiny West Texas oil town with surprising Roy Orbison roots.

Wink is a small, unassuming city in Winkler County in the heart of the Permian Basin, far western Texas. With a population of only around 900 people, it sits amid flat, scrubby desert landscape shaped by decades of oil and gas activity.

Despite its size, Wink carries a notable claim to fame as the birthplace of legendary rock-and-roll pioneer Roy Orbison. Visitors curious about American music history and the raw, rugged character of an authentic West Texas oil town will find Wink a genuinely off-the-beaten-path stop.

  • •Roy Orbison Museum — small hometown tribute to the rock legend born here in 1936.
  • •Roy Orbison's Childhood Home — modest house where the iconic singer grew up.
  • •Winkler County Historical Museum — local artifacts tracing oil-boom and pioneer history.
  • •Wink Sink — dramatic collapsed sinkhole on the edge of town, a geological curiosity.
  • •Permian Basin oil fields — scenic (if industrial) landscape defining the region's identity.
  • •Monahans Sandhills State Park (nearby) — striking sand dunes a short drive away.

Getting around: Wink has no public transit, rail service, or rideshare infrastructure; a personal vehicle or rental car is essential, as the nearest larger city, Kermit, is about 13 miles away and Odessa is roughly 50 miles east.

Best time: Spring (March through May) offers the most comfortable temperatures before brutal summer heat sets in across the West Texas desert.

Local food: Look for classic Texas staples like beef brisket, chicken-fried steak, and hearty Tex-Mex at the handful of local diners and small restaurants serving the community.
