The Vinton County Airport is a publicly owned, public use airport located 5 miles northeast of McArthur, Ohio, in Vinton County.[1]

Planning for an airport in Vinton County began as early as February 1966.[2] The land to build it was donated by W.E. Engle, the president of the Benedict Coal Company. The airport and its 3,850 ft (1,170 m) runway were dedicated on 10 October 1971.[3]

Facilities and aircraft

The airport has one runway. Designated as runway 9/27, it measures 3725 x 75 ft (1135 x 23 m) and is paved with asphalt.[1][4]
