Nampa Municipal Airport is a city-owned public airport in Nampa, in Canyon County, Idaho. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 called it a general aviation airport.[3]

It is used for private, emergency, military and industrial aviation and is home to the Warhawk Air Museum. The airport has ongoing hangar construction. The Civil Air Patrol Nampa Squadron is on airport grounds co-located with EAA in the Shep-Rock hangar. Nampa Municipal Airport is a member of Rocky Mountain Air and the Snake River Flight Training Club. Mission Aviation Fellowship is also headquartered at the Nampa Airport.

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is assigned MAN by the FAA and has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned MAN toManchester Airport in Manchester, England, United Kingdom).[5]
