University of Oklahoma Westheimer Airport (IATA: OUN, ICAO: KOUN, FAA LID: OUN) (Max Westheimer Airport) is a public use airport in Norman, in Cleveland County, Oklahoma.[1] It is owned by the University of Oklahoma.[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a reliever airport.[2]

The Cleveland County Composite Squadron of Civil Air Patrol meets on Tuesday evenings in a hangar provided by the City of Norman, east of the terminal.

History

Built as a civil airport on land donated by the Neustadt family in the name of their uncle Max Westheimer to the University of Oklahoma and land from the city of Norman, Oklahoma, it was taken over by the U.S. Navy in 1941 and expanded as a training field. It was transferred back to the university after the war.[3]

The airport covers 727 acres (294 ha) at an elevation of 1,182 feet (360 m). It has two runways asphalt: 17/35 is 5,199 by 100 feet (1,585 x 30 m) and 3/21 is 4,748 by 100 feet (1,447 x 30 m).[1]

In the year ending March 31, 2012 the airport had 49,309 aircraft operations, average 135 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% military, and 1% air taxi. 78 aircraft were then based at the airport: 79% single-engine, 18% multi-engine, and 3% jet.[1]
