Eloy Municipal Airport (FAA LID: E60) is a public use non-towered airport located 3.5 miles (3.0 nmi; 5.6 km) northwest of the central business district of Eloy, a city in Pinal County, Arizona, United States. It is 50 miles (43 nmi; 80 km) southeast of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA, IATA, and ICAO this airport is only assigned E60 by the FAA.[2]

Skydive Arizona hangar

The airport was opened in February 1969.

Since 1991 the airport has been home to Skydive Arizona, operating the largest skydiving center in the world with a fleet of four Twin Otters, seven Skyvans, and one Douglas DC-3.[3][4][5]
