Meadow Lake Airport (ICAO: KFLY, FAA LID: FLY, formerly 00V) is a public use airport located 14 nautical miles (16 mi, 26 km) northeast of the central business district of Colorado Springs, a city in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. It is privately owned by the Meadow Lake Airport Association, Inc.[1]
Meadow Lake is the largest pilot owned airport in the State of Colorado. Meadow Lake Airport went in service on November 1, 1967 and is a general aviation reliever airport for Colorado Springs. There are several aviation related businesses on the airfield including flying schools and aircraft maintenance facilities. In 2010 the airport was approved for an FAA grant to provide an AWOS (automated weather observation system). The system has been installed, and it was certified by the FAA on October 21, 2010. A change of FAA identifier from 00V to FLY (ICAO: KFLY) took effect on January 14, 2011.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned FLY by the FAA,[1] but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned FLY to Finley, New South Wales, Australia).[2][3]
