Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport (KGOK) is a general aviation field in Logan County, Oklahoma, sitting a couple of miles south of Guthrie and about seven miles north of Edmond, with easy access from Interstate 35. Jointly run by the two cities since 2004, it is a busy training and business-aviation base with a single hard-surfaced, lit runway. For a VFR visitor it offers straightforward non-towered operations under Oklahoma City's approach control umbrella.
KGOK is a public-use general aviation airport serving the neighbouring communities of Guthrie and Edmond in central Oklahoma, roughly 30 miles north of Oklahoma City. It has been jointly operated by the two cities under an intergovernmental agreement since 2004 and is recognised by the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission as one of the state's premier regional business airports, having been named Airport of the Year by the Oklahoma Airport Operators Association in both 2006 and 2014. For a simulator pilot it is a good example of a well-equipped, uncontrolled Midwestern GA field with jet-capable taxiways and a healthy resident fleet.
The airport lies in Logan County, Oklahoma, about two nautical miles south of Guthrie and seven miles north of Edmond, close to Interstate 35 on the north side of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. There is no control tower on the field; traffic in the vicinity is worked by Oklahoma City Approach/Departure on 124.2 MHz, placing KGOK within the wider Oklahoma City terminal airspace structure even though the aerodrome itself operates as an uncontrolled field.
The airport has a single physical runway aligned 16/34, hard-surfaced and lit. The 16 threshold is listed at 5,185 feet and the 34 threshold at 4,984 feet. There is no ILS at the field.
Oklahoma City Approach/Departure is available on 124.2 MHz for arriving and departing traffic. The field's automated weather observation (ASOS) is broadcast on 133.975 MHz. With no tower on site, CTAF/UNICOM procedures apply on 122.8 MHz, the same frequency used for UNICOM services.
KGOK is a non-towered airport, so pilots use the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz to self-announce intentions and coordinate with other traffic in the pattern. Arriving and departing IFR or transiting traffic in the surrounding area works Oklahoma City Approach/Departure on 124.2 MHz.
The airport sits just off Interstate 35, with the town of Guthrie a short distance to the north and Edmond around seven miles to the south, both useful landmarks for orientation when approaching from the Oklahoma City area.
Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport was established in 1941 and was originally known as Guthrie Municipal Airport. Most of the hangars on the field date from construction that began in the mid-1960s. A new terminal building was built in 2002, replacing an older structure on the site of what is now the second hangar. In 2004 the City of Guthrie entered into a formal partnership with the City of Edmond to co-sponsor the airport, and by 2005 the field was being jointly operated by both cities, later taking the Guthrie-Edmond Regional name. A significant expansion completed in 2007 added navigational aids, safety areas, security fencing and an updated airport layout plan, along with rerouting of a nearby industrial road; the airport also became an official Foreign Trade Zone site that year. Further improvements followed, including lighted taxiway signage installed at each cross taxiway in 2009.
Today the airport functions as a top-tier general aviation facility offering FBO services, flight training, and avionics and maintenance support, with more than a hundred aircraft based on the field ranging from single-engine trainers to business jets. It hosts a range of community aviation events through the year, including a Santa Fly-In, open hangar days, airport tours, a Summer Aviation Program, a Pancake Breakfast, and an Annual Fly-In and Community Day.
