Cross City Airport (IATA: CTY, ICAO: KCTY, FAA LID: CTY) is a county-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Cross City, a city in Dixie County, Florida, United States.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

It was used by the United States Air Force under the name of Cross City Air Force Station.

History

Main article: Cross City Air Force Station

The airport was opened as a public airfield in April, 1940. In August 1942, the facility was requisitioned by the United States Army Air Forces as a World War II military airfield, and was named Cross City Army Airfield. The airfield was assigned as a training base to the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics (AAFSAT), 50th Fighter Group, headquartered at Orlando Army Air Base.

After the war, the airfield was returned to civil control. However, in the 1950s, the United States Air Force re-established a RADAR facility on the airport under the operational control of the 891st Radar Squadron of the Air Defense Command (ADC). This facility remained at Cross City Air Force Station and was part of the ADC's 20th Air Division from 1959 to 1969 when the facility was closed.[3]

Facilities and aircraft

Cross City Airport covers an area of 591 acres (239 ha) at an elevation of 42 feet (13 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 4/22 is 5,005 by 75 feet (1,526 x 23 m) and 13/31 is 5,001 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending February 8, 2010, the airport had 18,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 49 per day. At that time there were 11 aircraft based at this airport: 82% single-engine, 9% jet, and 9% helicopter.[1]
