Kegelman AF Aux Field (KCKA) is a small auxiliary airfield lying some 11 miles east of Cherokee in northwestern Oklahoma. Its name and designation point to a former United States Air Force auxiliary role, and today it offers a single long hard-surfaced runway that is straightforward for VFR visitors to identify from the air.
Kegelman AF Aux Field sits in open farmland country in northwestern Oklahoma, its name marking it out as a former United States Air Force auxiliary field. It is a modest, low-traffic strip today, but the unusually generous runway length for a field of its size hints at its military past and makes it a straightforward, if quiet, VFR destination for simulator pilots exploring the rural Plains.
The field lies about 11 miles east of the town of Cherokee, Oklahoma, in an area of open, largely uncontrolled airspace typical of the rural Plains (skyvector.com). There is no indication of any overlying controlled airspace or nearby major aerodromes that would affect a VFR approach.
Kegelman AF Aux Field has a single physical runway, 17/35, measuring 7,776 feet and surfaced in hard pavement. There is no ILS installed at the field.
A miscellaneous frequency of 38.625 MHz is listed for the field under the callsign DOGFACE. No other radio services, ATC facility, or navigational aids are recorded for the airfield.
