Logan-Cache Airport (IATA: LGU, ICAO: KLGU) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the city of Logan in Cache County, Utah, USA. There is no current commercial service into Logan-Cache Airport, however, Frontier Airlines (operated by Lynx Aviation) is looking into starting flights to Denver International Airport using Q400 planes. It is now up to the community to raise one million dollars in start-up to subsidize the service^[1].

Logan Cache Airport has two fixed wing training schools located on the field, one sponsored by Utah State University, and the other is Privately owned by Leading Edge Aviation, (Not to mention several independent CFI's.) New to the airport, a rotorcraft school has opened up shop. Logan is also home to several active glider pilots who love flying the thermals up against the mountains.

[edit] Facilities

Logan-Cache Airport covers 602 acres (244 ha) and has two runways:

Runway 17/35: 9,095 x 100 ft. (2,772 x 30 m), Surface: Asphalt
Runway 10/28: 5,005 x 75 ft. (1,526 x 23 m), Surface: Asphalt

[edit] Trivia

Runway 35-17 is the second longest runway in Utah, second only to Salt Lake International; it's a pretty new runway and very smooth.

On the other hand, runway 28-10 is a little worn out and they're lobbying hard to have it resurfaced. When landing runway 28-10, remember to practice your soft field landing techniques and keep light on that front wheel as it bounces over the rough stuff.
