The airport was built as a civil airport on land donated by the Neustadt family in the name of World War I pilot Max Westheimer to the University of Oklahoma and land from the city of Norman, Oklahoma. It was taken over by the U.S. Navy in 1941 and expanded as a training field; it was then called the Naval Air Station Norman. It was transferred back to the University after the war.[3]
The airport covers 727 acres (294 ha) at an elevation of 1,182 feet (360 m) above sea level. It has two asphalt runways: 18/36 is 5,199 by 100 feet (1,585 x 30 m) and 3/21 is 4,748 by 100 feet (1,447 x 30 m).[1]
In the year ending January 1, 2018, the airport had 48,733 aircraft operations, an average of 134 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% military and 1% air taxi. In May 2022, there were 107 aircraft based at this airport: 80 single-engine, 16 multi-engine, 5 jet and 6 helicopter.[1]
