Stillwater Regional Airport (IATA: SWO, ICAO: KSWO, FAA LID: SWO) is a public use city owned airport located in Payne County, Oklahoma, United States, three miles (4.8 km) northwest of the city of Stillwater.
After World War II the airfield was one of six locations in the nation that stored surplus bombers, fighters, trainers, and transports. About 475 aircraft were flown to the airport starting in 1945. In 1946 Paul Mantz bought them all, keeping 12 for use as stunt planes and camera ships, and selling the rest for scrap.
One of the aircraft processed through Stillwater - and purchased by Mantz - was B-17 41-24577 "Hells Angels," which was the first B-17 to complete 25 missions (even before the Memphis Belle).
Central DC-3s landed at Stillwater starting in 1953; successor Frontier pulled out in 1975-76.
Stillwater was home to an Essential Air Service airline named Exec Express,Inc.. It operated Piper PA-31 Navajos.
After several years with no commercial flights, American Airlines began scheduled service in August 2016. The flights are operated on behalf of American Airlines by their regional partner Envoy Air. The Stillwater flights are operated using the 50 seat Embraer-145 jet and are primarily scheduled with two daily departures to the American Airlines hub at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
