The O'Neill Municipal Airport (John L. Baker Field) is two miles northwest of O'Neill, in Holt County, Nebraska. It is owned by the O'Neill Airport Authority. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

The field is named after John L. Baker, a native of O'Neill who was a fighter pilot in the Korean War, the United States Department of Justice's first air-crash attorney, counsel to the United States Senate, and the Federal Aviation Administration as Assistant Systems Administrator for General Aviation. He also served as president of both the AOPA and International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA), the latter of which saw him represent 37 countries in the ICAO.[3]
