MY FS FLIGHTS
Clinton Regional Airport (KCLK) is a small city-owned general aviation field three miles northeast of Clinton, Oklahoma, sitting on the plains of Custer and Washita counties. It offers a long lit hard-surface runway alongside a short turf strip, making it a straightforward but characterful stop for VFR pilots crossing western Oklahoma.
Clinton Regional Airport is a public, city-owned aerodrome serving Clinton, Oklahoma, and the surrounding Custer and Washita county area. It is a general aviation field with no scheduled airline service, appealing to sim pilots for its mix of a substantial lit paved runway and a genuine turf cross-strip, and for its position on the open plains of western Oklahoma.
The airport lies about three miles northeast of the central business district of Clinton, Oklahoma, within Custer and Washita counties. It is an uncontrolled field typical of the surrounding rural airspace, with enroute traffic in the area worked by Fort Worth Center.
Clinton Regional has two physical runways. Runway 17/35 is 4,300 feet long with a hard (asphalt) surface and is lit, forming the airport's primary runway for most traffic. Runway 13/31 is a much shorter 1,350-foot grass strip, unlit, suited to light aircraft in favourable conditions.
Traffic at Clinton Regional works CTAF/UNICOM on 122.8 MHz. An ASOS automated weather observation is available on 119.225 MHz. An additional frequency of 128.4 MHz is associated with Fort Worth Center for the area. There is no ILS or other instrument approach navaid noted for the field.
Clinton Regional Airport is owned by the City of Clinton and covers an area of 480 acres. For the twelve-month period ending 21 June 2017 it recorded 3,600 aircraft operations, an average of 69 per week, all of it general aviation activity, with 17 based aircraft, all single-engine types.
The airport continues to operate purely as a general aviation field, with no airline service, supporting light single-engine traffic based and transiting through western Oklahoma. Its long lit paved runway and shorter turf strip give visiting pilots a choice of surfaces depending on aircraft type and conditions.
