Battle Mountain Airport {{Airport codes|BAM|KBAM|BAM}}, also known as Lander County Airport, is 3 miles (5 km) southeast of Battle Mountain, Nevada. This general aviation airport is owned by Lander County and operated by the Battle Mountain Airport Authority.

History

The airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces about 1942, and was known as Battle Mountain Flight Strip. It was an emergency landing airfield by the Reno Army Air Base for military aircraft on training flights. It was also designated as a CAA Intermediate Field for civil aircraft emergency use. It was closed after World War II, and was turned over for local government use by the War Assets Administration (WAA).[2]

Facilities

The airport covers {{convert|1,066|acre|ha}} and has two runways and two helipads:

  • 3/21: 7,299 x 150 ft (2,225 x 46 m) Asphalt
  • 12/30: 7,300 x 100 ft (2,225 x 30 m) Asphalt
  • Helipad H1: 60 x 60 ft (18 x 18 m), Surface: Concrete
  • Helipad H2: 60 x 60 ft (18 x 18 m), Surface: Concrete

Organizations

BAM is home to the Battle Mountain Air Attack Base which is run by the Bureau of Land Management.[3] The Air Attack Base provides air tanker support for fire suppression in northern Nevada.[4] The Nevada Division of Forestry also operates an air tanker base at BAM.[5]
