Wyandot County Airport

The county purchased of land, some of which came from the county home, for the airport in January 1966. At the time, a private airport already existed in the county, but it was inadequate. A contract was accepted in November 1966 and by mid April 1967 construction was underway. The airport and its runway were dedicated on 1 October 1967. An approximately solar farm was built on either side of the runway in 2010. In 2023, the airport received $57,600 to update its master plan. == Facilities and aircraft ==

• On January 15, 2013, an Aviat Husky crashed while practicing touch-and-go landings at the Wyandot County Airport. On his third approach, the pilot noticed that the wind sock had changed and was now favoring the opposite runway. Thus, the pilot performed a go-around and performed an approach to the opposite runway. After touchdown, the plane's left wing started to rise and the tail swung to the right. The pilot applied left rudder, but the tail continued to the right. The right main gear buckled and the right wing struck the runway. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing in gusty crosswind conditions. ==See also==
