The Barnesville-Bradfield Airport (FAA LID: 6G5) is a publicly owned, public use airport located 1 mile northwest of Barnesville, Ohio in Belmont County. The airport sits on 55 acres at an elevation 1312 feet (400 m). [1] [2]

Contents

The airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) as a General Aviation facility. [3]

The airport holds an annual Airport Day in early summer. [4] The day includes aircraft displays, airplane rides, games, and food. The Airport Authority, Barnesville Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Barnesville sponsor the event to generate interest in aviation, especially as a career field, and promote the airport's role in boosting the local economy. [5]

== History ==Gibson and John Bradfield created the private airstrip in the early 1940s as a means of flying their private aircraft. John deeded the runway to the village in 1969. The airport was under the control of the Barnesville Village Council until it was handed over to the Belmont County Regional Airport Authority in September 2009. The Village had been working on the move for five years; the airport authority was officially established in 2007 and held its first meeting in April 2008, just over a year before taking charge of the airport. [6]

Facilities and aircraft

The airport has one runway, designated as Runway 9/27. It measures 4,003 x 65 fet (1,220 x 20 m) and is paved with asphalt. For the 12-month period ending July 29, 2020, the airport had 5,096 aircraft operations, an average of 98 per week. This included 99% general aviation and 1% military. For the same time period, 11 aircraft were based at the airport, all airplanes: 10 single-engine and 1 multi-engine. [1] [2] [7]

The airport has a fixed-base operator that offers fuel – both avgas and jet fuel – and limited amenities. [8] [9]

Improvement Projects

In 2020, the airport received over $2 million from the Federal Aviation Administration to improve the runway's paving and clear safety areas at either end of the runway. [3]

In 2022, $3 million were invested to make improvements at the airport. The money went towards purchasing extra land to expand airport facilities and build out the airport's hangars to offer more room to new tenants who want to base their planes at the airport. [10]
