Boscobel Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KOVS, FAA LID: OVS), also known as Boscobel Municipal Airport,[3] is a city owned public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Boscobel, a city in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]
It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2025–2029, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned OVS by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
Boscobel Airport covers an area of 382 acres (155 ha) at an elevation of 673 feet (205 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: the primary runway 7/25 measuring 5,000 by 75 feet (1,524 by 23 m) and the crosswind runway 2/20 measuring 3,656 by 58 ft (1,114 by 18 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending July 19, 2023, the airport had 12,400 aircraft operations, an average of 34 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi and 1% military. In August 2024, there were 25 aircraft based at this airport: 23 single-engine and 2 multi-engine.[1]
