Cross City Airport (IATA: CTY, ICAO: KCTY, FAA LID: CTY) is a county-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Cross City, a city in Dixie County, Florida, United States.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

History

[edit]

The airport was opened as a public airfield in April 1940. In August 1942, the facility was requisitioned by the United States Army Air Forces as a World War II military airfield, and was named Cross City Army Airfield. The airfield was assigned as a training base to the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics (AAFSAT), 50th Fighter Group, headquartered at Orlando Army Air Base, Florida.

After the war, the airfield was returned to civil control. However, in the 1950s, the United States Air Force re-established a radar facility on the airport under the operational control of the 891st Radar Squadron of the Air Defense Command (ADC), later renamed the Aerospace Defense Command. This facility remained at Cross City Air Force Station and was part of the ADC's 20th Air Division from 1959 to 1969 when the facility was closed and transferred back to civilian control.[3] In 1972, the Florida Department of Corrections commenced converting the former Cross City Air Force Station to a prison for adult male offenders known as the Cross City Correctional Institution.
