The Oklahoma Air and Space Port, located in Burns Flat, Okla., was recently awarded a $6.7 million contract by the U.S. Air Force. The contract allows the Air Force to use the airport for flight training operations for units from two of Oklahoma’s Air Force Bases.
The Oklahoma Air & Space Port is a public-use airport and industrial airpark that has facilities in place for aerospace testing, research and development, flights and launches. It is one of the ten spaceports in the nation, and the only one with an FAA-approved spaceflight corridor not in restricted airspace or Military Operation Areas (MOAs). The airport is home to one of the country’s longest and the widest runways (13,503-foot by 300-foot concrete runway) available for both civilian and military use.
The facility also has 2,000 acres of land available for development.
