Mid-State Regional Airport (ICAO: KPSB, FAA LID: PSB) (Mid-State Airport) is a small airport in Rush Township, Centre County in Pennsylvania. It is located between Black Moshannon State Park to the east and Moshannon State Forest.
The airport is 9 miles (14 km) east of Philipsburg, 5 miles (8.0 km) from U.S. Route 322 and 10 miles (16 km) from Interstate 80.
"Black Moshannon Airport" was built on land taken from Black Moshannon State Park and Moshannon State Forest just prior to the Second World War, and was operational by 1942, hosting a Civil Air Patrol training exercise for nearly 300 planes on May 30, 1942. It was renamed "Mid-State Airport" in 1962.
The airport is 20 miles (32 km) from State College and Pennsylvania State University, and until the 1970s it was served by Allegheny Airlines (now US Airways). Over 75% of the airport's passengers were from the State College and Bellefonte area. After the new University Park Airport, owned by Penn State, opened in 1972, Allegheny Airlines gradually switched from Mid-State to University Park. Today there is no scheduled airline service to Mid-State Regional Airport.
