Greene County–Lewis A. Jackson Regional Airport (FAA LID: GDK) is a public use airport located in Xenia, a city in Greene County, Ohio, United States. It is 10 nautical miles (19 km) east of the central business district of the city of Dayton. The airport is owned by the Greene County Regional Airport Authority. Efforts to build an airport in Greene County began as early as late November 1966, when an airport authority was created. The county purchased 38 acres (15 ha) for the facility in mid March 1967 and a state grant was approved in late April. A lawsuit was filed in early May by a local resident to prevent the construction of the airport. However, the case was dismissed 18 days later. On June 28th, contracts for general contracting and electrical work were awarded. This was followed two days later by the letting of a contract for runway construction. The day after that, the state authorized the plans. While airplanes were using the airport by mid April 1968, it was still not officially open as lights had not been installed. The airport and its 4,000 ft (1,200 m) runway were dedicated on 6 October 1968. By early June 1969 a 12,000 sq ft (1,100 m2) hangar and 2,400 sq ft (220 m2) terminal had been built. The fixed base operator at the airport ended its contract in 1971 due to financial difficulties. More information...
