Tri-Cities Airport (IATA: PSC, ICAO: KPSC) is a public airport located 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Pasco, in Franklin County, Washington, USA. It is the third largest commercial airport in the State of Washington with three runways.

History

The airport originally started as a United States Navy training field during World War II. During the first part of the war, the field was used to train beginning pilots for combat training. During the last half of the war, the mission shifted to training established pilots returning from battle in the use of newer aircraft. After the war, the Navy sold the field to the city of Pasco, but still retains training privileges. Several Navy aircraft, especially the P-3 Orion, use the field for landing and take-off training.

Current use

The airport's terminal is currently the property of the Port of Pasco. Firefighting services, however, is handled by the City of Pasco. A new fire station has recently been built on the terminal grounds. The old Navy station buildings on the north end of the airport is currently used by other firms, most notibly Bergstrom Aircraft, which specializes in private airplane flying lessons.
