Riverside Airport (FAA LID: K32) was a privately owned, public use airport in Sedgwick County, Kansas, United States.[1] It was located on the east side of the intersection of Hoover Rd. and 33rd Street North in northwest Wichita.[1][2]
In late February 2014, the property was sold to Cornejo & Sons Construction, which closed the facility and plans to mine the sand underneath it.[3]
Riverside Airport covered an area of 220 acres (89 ha) at an elevation of 1,335 feet (407 m) above mean sea level. It had one runway designated 16/34 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,200 by 40 feet (975 x 12 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending June 8, 2012, the airport had 14,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 38 per day. At that time there were 29 aircraft based at this airport: 25 single-engine, 3 multi-engine, and 1 ultralight.[1]
