Frederick Regional Airport (IATA: FDR, ICAO: KFDR, FAA LID: FDR) is a city-owned, public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Frederick, a city in Tillman County, Oklahoma, United States. It was formerly known as Frederick Municipal Airport.
The airport was opened on 23 September 1942 as Frederick Army Airfield with four hard-surfaced runways, three of 6,000 foot (1,829 m) length (00/18; 04/22; 13/31) and one 4,380 feet (1,335 m) long (09/27). It was also used as a civil airport under a joint-use agreement. The airport was assigned to the United States Army Air Forces' Gulf Coast Training Center (later Central Flying Training Command) as an advanced twin-engine (level 3) pilot training airfield, with one of its instructors being comedian George Gobel. It had four local auxiliary airfields for emergency and overflow landings. Military flight operations from the airfield ceased on 31 October 1945 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program. It was then declared surplus and turned over to the Army Corps of Engineers on 21 September 1946. Eventually it was discharged to the War Assets Administration (WAA) and became a civil airport.
Frederick Regional Airport covers an area of 1,442 acres (584 ha) at an elevation of 1,258 feet (383 m) above mean sea level. It has three runways: 17/35 is 6,099 by 150 feet (1,859 x 46 m) with an asphalt surface; 3/21 is 4,812 by 60 feet (1,467 x 18 m) with a concrete surface; 12/30 is 4,578 by 75 feet (1,395 x 23 m) with a concrete surface.
