Dorothy Scott Airport is one of two airports named after a woman who served in World War II for the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) department.[7] Dorothy Scott died during World War II while ferrying aircraft to England and received a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal in 2010.[7] It is classified as an airport of entry by the Washington state,[7] and operates an airport layout plan.[8]
The airport holds a service classification of federal general aviation airport.[7] In 2010, 40 planes left the airport for local military services, while the same number of planes left it as commercial air taxis.[7] 12,000 airplanes left Dorothy Scott for general itinerant use, and 3100 left as general local flights.[7]
The nearest radio navigation aids from the airport that help the pilot are located in three cities: Omak, Penticton, and Naramata.[3] The last two locations are in Canada.[3] Steven Johnson serves as the airports service manager.[1] The airport offers a public taxi transportation service.[9] The airplane's Area Control Center is located in Seattle, Washington.[10]
Johnston claimed that the amount of activity at the Dorothy Scott Airport is "amazing".[11] He felt that throughout August and September 2012, the airport has gotten busier.[11] According to Johnston, a person purchased a US$4000 hangar to be placed at this airport.[11] Big World of Flight—an organization that educates children on aviation—is one company that Johnston noted will stop at the airport in September 2012.[11] He assured that Oroville's priority is the expanding of the airport.[11]
