Welcome to the Auburn Municipal Airport website.



Auburn Airport is also known as "Dick Scobee Field" after late "Francis Richard Scobee" Commander of the Space Shuttle Challenger "STS-51-L". He along with 6 other people perished on January 28, 1986 after an "O" ring seal failed on the outboard booster rocket just 73 seconds into its flight at 48,000 feet, it was his second shuttle launch. Commander Scobee attended Auburn Senior High School and survived by his wife and two children, one of whom is now the deputy director of operations at NORAD, recently promoted to Brigadier General.


  • The Airport has two enclosed hangars available at the north end of the airport. Please call the airport office for reserving or we'd be happy to show either one during office hours.

  • AIRPORT WASH RACK AND ALL WATER SPIGOTS SHALL NOT BE USED FOR WASHING AIRCRAFT OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON AIRPORT PROPERTY. The airport and the City of Auburn are still in talks with the DOE regarding the wash rack. We apologize for this, but if you need to wash your airplane you can call Auburn Flight Service. Their facility has a wash rack with oil water separation ability. With regards to the spigots in the Condo areas we can not allow any washing of vehicles, aircraft because the catch basins do not have the oil water separators and drain directly into the Green River. ANYONE USING THESE FACILITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO FINES BY THE D.O.E. AND CODE ENFORCEMENT...

  • The airport has new runway lighting. FOR NIGHT TIME OPERATIONS PLEASE REFER TO THE SECTION ON PILOT CONTROLLED LIGHTING IN THE FAR/AIM. The Unicom information and airport lighting will both come on at night when mic-clicked.


  • Along with the two enclosed hangars which are now available, there are also many open "T" hangars and tie-down spaces available to rent, please check the current price list. To be placed on our waitlist will require the completion of the "waitlist form" and a non-refundable $50.00 fee.

    Transient parking and nightly tie-downs are always available just south of the 24 hr fuel terminal. Nine spaces are available and are labeled "Visitors" for your use. The south end transient area should be avoided, summer and fall events have closed most of that area. A $5.00 pre-paid fee for each overnight stay will be collected upon arrival by office staff, if arriving after hours please use the Airport drop box located next to the Airport Office main door.

    The Airport is only able to accept cash or check for all parking and rental payments. Additionally, short term covered hangars are available for a nightly fee, please inquire with an airport staff member for pricing and available units.
