McMinnville Municipal Airport is three miles southeast of McMinnville, in Yamhill County, Oregon. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2] It is across Oregon Route 18 from the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, home to the Hughes H-4 Hercules Spruce Goose flying boat.

Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is MMV according to the FAA and has no IATA code.[3]

West Coast Airlines Douglas DC-3s served McMinnville for several years commencing in 1947.

The airport covers 650acres at an elevation of 163 feet (50 m). It has two asphalt runways: 4/22 is 5,420 by 150 feet (1,652 x 46 m) and 17/35 is 4,340 by 75 feet (1,323 x 23 m).

In the year ending September 20, 2021, the airport had 63,500 aircraft operations, average 174 per day: 98% general aviation and 2% military. 123 aircraft were then based at the airport: 94 single-engine, 7 multi-engine, 3 jet, 15 helicopter and 4 glider.
