Vance Brand Airport (ICAO: KLMO, FAA LID: LMO, formerly AMR) is three miles southwest of Longmont, in Boulder County, Colorado.[1] It is named after former NASA astronaut Vance Brand.

Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this facility is LMO to the FAA and has no IATA code.[2] (RAF Lossiemouth in Lossiemouth, Scotland has IATA code LMO.[3]).

Facilities

The airport covers 261 acres (106 ha) at an elevation of 5,055 feet (1,541 m). Its runway (11/29) is 4,800 by 75 feet (1,463 x 23 m) concrete.[1]

In the year ending August 28, 2008 the airport had 99,990 aircraft operations, average 273 per day: 99.9% general aviation and <0.1% military. 281 aircraft were then based at this airport: 84% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 1% jet, 3% helicopter and 6% ultralight.[1]
