Pike County Airport (ICAO: KEOP, FAA LID: EOP) is three miles northeast of Waverly, a village in Pike County, Ohio.[1] The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this facility is EOP to the FAA and has no IATA code.[3]

History

[edit]

The airport was funded largely by a bill signed by Ohio Governor James Rhodes, who believed every county in Ohio should have an airport.[4]

Facilities

[edit]

Pike County Airport covers 70 acres (28 ha) at an elevation of 661 feet (202 m). Its one runway, 7/25, is 4,899 by 75 feet (1,493 x 23 m).[1]

In the year ending August 31, 2023, the airport had 2,112 aircraft operations, average 40 per week: it was nearly 100% general aviation and <1% military. Ten aircraft were then based at the airport, all airplanes: 9 single-engine and 1 multi-engine.[1]
