Winchester Regional Airport is three miles southeast of Winchester, in Frederick County, Virginia. It was recognized by the state as a licensed commercial airport in 1937 and was Winchester Municipal Airport until 1987.[2]
Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is OKV to the FAA and WGO to the IATA[3] (which assigned OKV to Okao Airport in Papua New Guinea[4]).
Winchester Regional Airport covers 375acres at an elevation of 726 feet (221 m). Its one runway, 14/32, is 5,500 by 100 feet (1,676 x 30 m); the runway supports instrument landing approaches, with the localizer on the northwest side of the airport.[5]
For the 12 month period ending June 30, 2016, the airport had 44,115 aircraft operations, averaging 121 per day. Of these, 96% (42,250) were general aviation, and 4% (1,865) were air taxi. 99 aircraft were based at the airport at the time: 82 single-engine, 14 multi-engine, 1 jet, 1 helicopter and 1 ultralight.
