Powell STOLport (FAA LID: 9A2) was a privately owned, public use STOLport in Knox County, Tennessee, United States.[1][2] It is located five nautical miles (9 km) northwest of the central business district of Knoxville, Tennessee.[1][2] This facility had a runway designed for use by STOL (short take-off and landing) aircraft.
The airport was annexed by the City of Knoxville in April 2003.[3]
The airport closed in the mid-2000s, and served its final flight in April 2012 when the then-owners sold the last aircraft that had been stored at the facility.[4] It is scheduled to become a shopping center based around a Kroger store.][5][6]
