The biggest civil airport in the Oklahoma City area is Wiley Post. It is an airport named after the man that died in the same plane crash as Will Rogers, which is the name of the big commercial airline airport for the area.

Anyway Wiley Post airport was originally in a different location, when Wiley was alive and running the place. It was built "way out in the country" originally, but the city grew right around it. The local complained about the noise and I think it was the City that acquired the land sold it for a nice profit after Wiley was dead.

They built a new airport "way out in the country" and named it Wiley Post Airport. Of course the idiots moved out to built around it and complain about the noise. Since it was city owned, and the city was making money on the airport, they just told the home owners to pound sand.

The company I used to work for flew aerials of every airport in Oklahoma and published a little booklet. We have lost a lot of little airports due to noise issues, and costs. We still have likely 10 or more civil airports in the metro area. Wiley Post is nice, but it is surrounded by neighborhoods and businesses, and a real pain to drive to. We keep our airplane at an airport "way out in the country" but it right off of two major highways. I can get there faster than any other airport. The houses are springing up in the area.

There was an airport in Edmond. It is totally obliterated by apartments, houses, and businesses.
