Boise City Airport (FAA LID: 17K) is in Cimarron County, Oklahoma, four miles north of the City of Boise City, which owns it.[1]

History[edit]

The airport was activated in August of 1946.[2] The 1927 trans-Atlantic flight of Charles Lindbergh led to development of municipal airports generally in Oklahoma.[3]

Facilities[edit]

Boise City Airport covers 107 acres (0.43 km2) and has a 4,211 ft (1,284 m) x 60 ft (18 m) runway.[4]

The airport averaged 67 aircraft operations per week for the 12-month period ending 26 November 2019.[2] Twelve aircraft were then based at the airport: 10 single-engine and 2 multi-engine.[2]
