With peterson air force base at the north end of the field, a commercial terminal to the south, and general aviation facilities to the west, Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS) is like three airports in one. Lockheed C-130s mix with airliners, trainers, and business jets at the more than 7,000-acre field, which started in 1926 as gravel runways on an area of grassland outside of the city. That field has become an expansive Class C airport whose longest runway stretches 13,501 feet-and on September 26, the airport community will welcome AOPA members to the association's second-to-last AOPA Fly-In of 2015.
