Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport, Public airport in Columbia-Tusculum, United States.
Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport is a public airport located east of downtown Cincinnati with two runways serving private and charter aircraft operations. The facility provides fuel, maintenance services, and customs facilities for various aviation activities.
The field opened in 1925 as Dixie Davis Flying Field and served as Cincinnati's primary air terminal until a new airport opened in 1947. It then became a hub for general aviation and smaller aircraft operations.
The terminal building contains one of the oldest standing air traffic control towers in the United States, representing early American aviation development.
The airport grounds include public paths around the perimeter for walking and cycling to observe flight operations. Access is straightforward, making it easy to visit and spend time viewing the airfield activity.
The facility borders the Little Miami River with natural surroundings that create a quiet backdrop for airport operations. This riverside setting gives the airfield a character quite different from larger, busier airports.
