Nut Tree Airport is a county-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of the central business district of Vacaville, in Solano County, California, United States.
The airport is near the junction of Interstates 80 and 505.[2] It is adjacent to the Nut Tree retail/commercial development, which replaced a historic US 40 highway stop from which both derive their name.
The Nut Tree Airport was founded in 1955 by Ed Power Jr., an aviation enthusiast and the son of Nut Tree founders Ed "Bunny" Power Sr. and Helen Harbison Power, as a way of attracting aviators to the Nut Tree.[3] The family sold the airport to Solano County in the 1970s.[4]
Nut Tree Airport covers an area of 262acres at an elevation of 117 feet (36 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 2/20 with an asphalt surface measuring 4,700 by 75 feet (1,433 x 23 m).
For the 12-month period ending March 21, 2022, the airport had 87,000 aircraft operations, an average of 238 per day: 97% general aviation and 2% air taxi. At that time there were 214 aircraft based at this airport: 189 single-engine, 19 multi-engine and 6 helicopters.
