Cooperstown-Westville Airport – K23

Cooperstown-Westville Airport, known by its identifier K23, is a small grass-strip airfield just outside Cooperstown. It is general aviation in its most personal form, with mostly single-engine planes flown by private pilots who fly for recreation, adventure or the simple pleasure of it. It is a quiet field where flying stays personal.

There are no commercial flights, no terminals and no crowds, just pilots who chose this place. From the airfield it is a few minutes’ drive into Cooperstown, where baseball history, the lake and a Main Street that still looks like itself are waiting. The airport has been part of the area’s story for generations.
