Kingman Airport lies in the high desert of Mohave County, Arizona, some nine miles northeast of the city it serves, and is best known to aviation enthusiasts as the site of the former Kingman Army Airfield and its extensive aircraft boneyard. Today it is a busy general-aviation field with two paved, lit runways and no control tower, making it a straightforward VFR destination for pilots exploring northwestern Arizona.
Kingman Airport is a city-owned, public-use aerodrome serving Kingman, Arizona, and the surrounding Mohave County area. It traces its origins to a major World War II training base and has since evolved into a general-aviation and light-industrial facility, notable among simulator pilots and enthusiasts for its long-standing role as a storage site for retired aircraft.
The airport is located about nine miles northeast of the central business district of Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona. It is a non-towered field, with pilots using the published UNICOM/CTAF frequency for self-announced traffic coordination in the surrounding airspace.
Kingman has two paved, lit runways. Runway 03/21 is 6,812 feet long with a hard surface, and runway 17/35 is 6,721 feet long, also hard-surfaced. Neither runway is equipped with an instrument landing system.
The field broadcasts weather via ASOS on 119.275 MHz. Prescott Radio can be reached on 108.8 MHz for flight-service functions such as opening or closing flight plans. UNICOM/CTAF traffic advisories are handled on 122.8 MHz.
Kingman Airport began life as Kingman Army Airfield, established at the start of the Second World War as one of the largest aerial gunnery training bases in the United States. After the war it became one of the country's principal reclamation sites for obsolete military aircraft, with the Sales-Storage Depot 41 completing its disposal work in late 1948. The airfield was subsequently transferred to Mohave County and returned to civilian use in 1949. Almost all of the original wartime buildings have since been removed, and the site has been redeveloped as a civil airport and industrial park. The Kingman Army Airfield Historical Society maintains a museum on the field preserving artefacts, photographs and displays relating to this history, and the airport remains notable for its aircraft boneyard.
The airport today supports around 150 general-aviation operators and individual aircraft owners, alongside roughly 250 aircraft held in storage, many maintained in airworthy condition. Facilities include 100LL avgas, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, aircraft rental, and free tie-down locations on the main ramp. The field also supports air ambulance operations, the Bureau of Land Management's aviation activities, and the Mohave County Sheriff's Department aviation section.
