Flying Dollar Airport (FAA LID: 8N4) is a privately owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) north of the central business district of Canadensis in Barrett Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Flying Dollar Airport covers an area of 57 acres (23 ha) at a maximum elevation of 1,430 feet (436 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 2/20 with a turf surface measuring 2,405 by 100 feet (733 x 30.5 m). It is situated 8 NM northeast of Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport (KMPO) and 23 NM east of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (KAVP).
West of the runway, there is a private residence and one steel hangar (60 x 60 feet), erected in the 1930s and since renovated with a one-piece hydraulic door and restored to its original checkerboard roof pattern, visible from the air.
The Pennsylvania Bureau of Aviation classifies the Flying Dollar Airport as a public basic utility airport suitable for operations in daytime visual flight rules (VFR) conditions. Its runway is considered moderately challenging due to a 4.5% gradient. The southern threshold of the runway is 1,322 feet MSL while the northern threshold is 1,430 feet MSL and abuts trees that are 94 feet high. Due to these conditions, landings on runway 20 and takeoffs on runway 02 are both prohibited.
