Coeur d'Alene Airport / Pappy Boyington Field (IATA: COE, ICAO: KCOE, FAA LID: COE) is a county-owned public-use airport, located in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. It is located nine miles (14 km) northwest of the central business district of Coeur d'Alene[1][2] and is surrounded by the city of Hayden on three sides.
The airport was known as Coeur d'Alene Air Terminal until September 2007, when it was renamed Coeur d'Alene Airport / Pappy Boyington Field to honor World War II multiple ace Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (1912–1988), a Medal of Honor recipient born in Coeur d'Alene.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Built as Coeur d'Alene Municipal Airport in 1942 by the Corps of Engineers, it was equipped with two 5,400 ft x 500 ft. runways, the asphalt paving of which began in July 1942. A taxiway was also constructed, 5,400 ft. x 150 ft., but only paved to a width of 50 ft. The $357,729 paving contract was let to Roy S. Bair, of Spokane, Washington. A contract for electrical lighting for the field went to H. C. Moss, of Wenatchee, Washington, in the amount of $15,198.[9]
Coeur d'Alene Airport covers an area of 1,140 acres (4.6 km2) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 6/24 measuring 7,400 ft × 100 ft (2,256 m × 30 m) and 2/20 measuring 5,400 ft × 75 ft (1,646 m × 23 m)[2][10]
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2018, the airport had 123,052 aircraft operations, an average of 337 per day: 77% general aviation, 22% air taxi, 1% military, and <1% airline.
