Stuttgart Municipal Airport (IATA: SGT, ICAO: KSGT, FAA LID: SGT) is in Prairie County, Arkansas.[1] It is eight miles north of Stuttgart, which owns the airport[1] and is the county seat of Arkansas County's northern district. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
History
Stuttgart Municipal Airport dates to 1942 when it was built by the United States Army Air Forces. It was used as an advanced twin-engine flying school and glider training.[3] With the end of World War II, Stuttgart Army Airfield was declared excess and closed on 5 August 1946.[3] It was conveyed though the War Assets Administration (WAA) to the City of Stuttgart to establish a municipal airport.[3]
Trans-Texas DC-3s stopped at Stuttgart from 1953 to 1958–59.
Facilities
Stuttgart Municipal Airport covers 2,560 acres (1,040 ha) at an elevation of 224 feet (68 m). It has two runways: 9/27 is 5,002 by 150 feet (1,525 x 46 m) concrete; 18/36 is 6,015 by 100 feet (1,833 x 30 m) asphalt.[1]
In the year ending December 31, 2021 the airport had 60,700 aircraft operations, average 166 per day: 91% general aviation, 6% military, and 4% air taxi. 22 aircraft were then based at the airport: 17 single-engine, 2 multi-engine, 2 jet and 1 helicopter.[1]

A 3-mile (4.8 km) SCCA road course used the runways, with the first race in 1959. The last sports car race was in 1978. A drag strip, Stuttgart Dragway, existed from 1970 to 1972.[4]
