Wiley Post Airport is one of the busiest general aviation fields in Oklahoma, named for the pioneer Oklahoma aviator who made the first solo round-the-world flight in 1933. The two-runway field is home to flight schools, corporate jets, helicopter services, and the Oklahoma Museum of Flying. The control tower's distinctive A-frame top is visible from much of Bethany.
You can drive directly onto the public observation area at the south end of the field for a clear view of light-aircraft and helicopter traffic. The pilot's lounge cafe is open to walk-in customers and serves a respectable breakfast. The airport's general-aviation traffic, at around 200,000 operations a year, gives it the kind of constant motion that no civilian airport in the area can match.
