Winchester Regional Airport (IATA: WGO, ICAO: KOKV, FAA LID: OKV) is three miles southeast of Winchester, in Frederick County, Virginia.[1] It was recognized by the state as a licensed commercial airport in 1937 and was Winchester Municipal Airport until 1987.[2]
Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is OKV to the FAA and WGO to the IATA[3] (which assigned OKV to Okao Airport in Papua New Guinea[4]).
