Rockingham County NC Shiloh Airport is a county-owned, public-use general aviation field near Stoneville, North Carolina, promoted locally as a convenient alternative to the much larger Piedmont Triad International Airport at Greensboro some 30 miles to the south. It offers a single lit hard-surfaced runway, 24-hour self-service fuel, and straightforward non-towered operations for the visiting VFR pilot.
Rockingham County NC Shiloh Airport (ICAO KSIF, FAA identifier SIF, formerly known as 78N) is a county-owned, public-use airport in Rockingham County, North Carolina, close to the town of Stoneville. It is operated for general aviation use and is marketed by its operator as a convenient, less congested alternative to Piedmont Triad International Airport at Greensboro, roughly 30 miles to the south. For a simulator pilot it offers a quiet, rural single-runway airfield typical of small county fields in the North Carolina Piedmont, with full-length night lighting and self-service fuel.
The airfield lies off J.J. Webster Highway in the town of Stoneville, North Carolina, about eight nautical miles northwest of the central business district of Reidsville, and roughly 30 miles north of Piedmont Triad International Airport at Greensboro. As a small, non-towered county airport it sits in uncontrolled airspace, with Greensboro Approach/Departure providing the overlying terminal radar service for the wider area (source data lists this facility on 26.922 MHz).
Shiloh Airport has a single physical hard-surfaced runway aligned 13/31, lit for night operations. The database records the 31 threshold with a length of 5,184 feet and the 13 threshold at 4,984 feet, both on the same hard-surfaced strip. Field elevation is 676 feet.
Traffic at Shiloh uses a common CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz for self-announced calls. An AWOS3 automated weather observing system broadcasts on 119.775 MHz. Greensboro Approach/Departure is listed as providing the overlying terminal service, recorded at 26.922 MHz. There is no ILS or published instrument approach navaid associated with the field in the available data.
Shiloh is a non-towered airfield, so arriving and departing traffic is expected to self-announce and coordinate positions on the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz. No specific circuit height, joining procedure, or noise-abatement restriction is published in the available sources.
The airfield is located off J.J. Webster Highway on the edge of the town of Stoneville, roughly eight nautical miles northwest of the built-up area of Reidsville, and about 30 miles north of the Piedmont Triad International Airport area near Greensboro, which can help with initial orientation when approaching from the south.
The North Carolina General Assembly authorised Rockingham County to appoint an airport authority to build and operate an airfield, but the county board of commissioners did not appoint anyone to the body until 1965, and the authority then faced difficulty choosing a suitable site. Construction began in 1970 in the community of Shiloh, and the field was deliberately named Shiloh Airport rather than Rockingham Airport to avoid confusion with the city of Rockingham elsewhere in the state. A legal dispute with the original contractor followed, leaving the airport with a contractor departure and depleted funds. In April 1996 the county commissioners appointed a new airport authority to take direct management of the field and restore its standing, and later that same month the airport hosted its first air show.
Shiloh Airport remains a county-owned, public-use general aviation field with about 5,200 feet of lit runway. Both 100LL and Jet-A1 fuel are available around the clock via a credit-card self-service system. The airport is home to a mix of based single-engine and multi-engine light aircraft and continues to be promoted by its operator as a practical, less congested alternative to the larger Piedmont Triad International Airport near Greensboro.
