History

During World War II the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Force. The airport serves general aviation aircraft consisting of private and business aircraft, charters, sight-seeing, air ambulance, and flight training. Although the airport is capable of handling larger passenger aircraft, the airport currently has no scheduled airline flights. The closest airport with scheduled airline flights is Salt Lake City International Airport, located approximately 30 miles south. In the event the Salt Lake City International Airport closes or has to turn away aircraft due circumstances such as weather conditions below landing minimums, Ogden-Hinckley is capable of accepting diverted commercial flights.

The airport is served by an FAA control tower with radar approach services provided by Salt Lake City TRACON.

Accidents and incidents

On 18 December 1953, a United States Air Force B-29 Superfortress scheduled to land at Hill Air Force Base landed at Ogden Municipal Airport by mistake.[1] One of the eight crew was killed when the aircraft crashed and caught fire.[2]

Culture and media

The airfield was a filming location for the 1997 film Con Air.[citation needed]
