Hendersonville Airport (0A7) is a small general aviation field in western North Carolina, sited between the towns of Hendersonville and East Flat Rock at the corner of Gilbert Street and Brooklyn Avenue. It offers a single hard-surfaced, lit runway at an elevation of 2,083 feet and sits alongside the Western North Carolina Air Museum, making it a modest but characterful stop for visiting sim pilots.
Hendersonville Airport, identified as 0A7, is a small general-aviation aerodrome serving the Hendersonville area of western North Carolina. It lies close to the Western North Carolina Air Museum, which displays airplanes of a bygone era, giving the field a strong grassroots aviation character rather than any commercial or airline role.
The airfield is located between the city of Hendersonville and the community of East Flat Rock, at the corner of Gilbert Street and Brooklyn Avenue, in Henderson County, North Carolina. The larger Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), which handles scheduled airline traffic, lies about 22 miles to the north near Asheville, so pilots operating in and out of Hendersonville should be mindful of that airport's controlled airspace when routing in the vicinity.
Hendersonville Airport has a single physical runway, 15/33, measuring 3,063 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting. No instrument landing system is available.
The Western North Carolina Air Museum, adjacent to the airfield at the corner of Gilbert Street and Brooklyn Avenue, is a useful visual landmark for locating the field, which sits in the built-up area between Hendersonville and East Flat Rock.
The airfield is closely associated with the Western North Carolina Air Museum, which is based next to it and preserves airplanes of a bygone era, though no further history of the aerodrome itself is recorded in the available material.
The field continues to operate as a small general-aviation airport for the Hendersonville area, with the adjoining Western North Carolina Air Museum maintaining a visible presence of historic aircraft on the site.
