Troy Municipal Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located 4nmi northwest of the central business district of Troy, a city in Pike County, Alabama, United States. It is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
It was activated on 11 January 1942 as Troy Auxiliary Airfield, a satellite airfield for the United States Army Air Forces Maxwell Field near Montgomery. It was known as Maxwell AAF Aux No. 4 - Troy (aka Troy No. 5).
The airfield also conducted basic flying training throughout the war. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. It also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned. It was transferred as inactive to the US Army Corps of Engineers on 1 April 1946 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program.
The airfield was turned over to civil control through the War Assets Administration (WAA).[3] [4]
Troy Municipal Airport covers an area of 501acres at an elevation of 398feet above mean sea level. It has two asphalt-paved runways: 14/32 measuring 5022by and 7/25 measuring 5009by. The tower and radar facilities are run by U.S. Army air traffic controllers. The airport is dominated by student pilots flying TH-67 helicopters from Fort Novosel between the times of 0800–1030L and 1400–1600L.
