Jesse Viertel Memorial Airport (ICAO: KVER, FAA LID: VER), also known as Jesse P. Viertel Airport, is a city-owned public-use airport located three miles (5 km) southeast of the central business district of Boonville, a city in Cooper County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is home to the Daniel Boone Flying Club, which serves central Missouri.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Jesse Viertel Memorial Airport is assigned VER by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned VER to General Heriberto Jara International Airport in Veracruz, Mexico[3]).
"On November 30, 2014, about 0857 central standard time (CST), a Bellanca model 17-30A single-engine airplane, N6629V, was substantially damaged when it collided with terrain during landing approach to runway 36 at Jesse Viertel Memorial Airport (VER), Boonville, Missouri.
