Scribner State Airport (IATA: SCB, ICAO: KSCB, FAA LID: SCB) is three miles southeast of Scribner, in Dodge County, Nebraska.
Scribner State Airport covers 789 acres (319 ha) at an elevation of 1,325 feet (404 m). It has two concrete runways: 17/35 is 4,200 by 75 feet (1,280 x 23 m) and 12/30 is 3,199 by 60 feet (975 x 18 m).
In the year ending August 22, 2007 the airport had 2,600 aircraft operations, average 216 per month: 96% general aviation and 4% military. 21 aircraft were then based at the airport: 67% single-engine and 33% ultralight.
Scribner State Airport was built in 1942 as a United States Army Air Forces training airfield. The 2,060-acre (8.3 km2) site is south of the Elkhorn River and is surrounded by low rolling hills on the east, north and west. The area is agricultural.
The first news that Scribner Army Airfield would be built came on 1 October 1942, with eviction notices given to area farmers shortly thereafter. Construction soon began, with two runways completed by 26 November 1942. 87 buildings and structures were built. The base opened on 9 December 1942.
Scribner AAF was one of eleven training airfields in Nebraska, and came under the command of Second Air Force. It was initially a satellite base to Sioux City Army Air Base, Iowa, though by 1943 it became an independent base, with Ainsworth Army Airfield, Nebraska, being designated as Scribner's satellite. The 4316th Army Air Force Base Unit had host unit responsibilities at Scribner. In December 1942, the Base Commander was Major A. J. Guffanti.
