Boscobel Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KOVS, FAA LID: OVS), also known as Boscobel Municipal Airport[3] is a city owned public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Boscobel, a city in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned OVS by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
