Cecil Field (IATA: NZC, ICAO: KVQQ, FAA LID: VQQ) is a public joint civil-military airport located in Jacksonville, a city in Duval County, Florida, United States. The airport is owned by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority and services military aircraft, corporate aircraft, general aviation, and air cargo. The Florida Army National Guard's primary Army Aviation Support Facility and the U.S. Coast Guard's Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) are also located here, the former operating CH-47 Chinook, UH-60 Blackhawk and C-12 Huron aircraft, while the latter operates the MH-65C Dolphin helicopter.
Cecil Field, commonly known as either "Cecil" or "Cecil Commerce Center", also houses the FSCJ (Florida State College Jacksonville) aviation course hangar and associated training aircraft. Facilities operated by major aerospace firms such as Boeing and Northrop Grumman are also located at Cecil, providing major maintenance and overhaul services for a variety of U.S. military aircraft.
In 2010, Cecil Field became the United States' eighth licensed commercial spaceport and the first in Florida authorized to fly space vehicles that take off and land horizontally.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Cecil Field is assigned VQQ by the FAA and NZC by the IATA. The airport's ICAO identifier is KVQQ. The NZC identifier was the airport's previous FAA identifier when it was Naval Air Station Cecil Field, its former name until its closure as a naval air station in 1999.
History
The airport is located on the site of the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field, which opened in 1941 and closed in 1999 following the 1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) decision. Covering a total area of 22,939 acres (92.8 km²), it was the largest military base in the Jacksonville area and supported all Atlantic Fleet F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter squadrons and S-3 Viking sea control squadrons.
Facilities and aircraft
Cecil Field covers an area of 6,000 acres (24 km²) and contains four runways:
- Runway 9L/27R: 8,002 x 200 ft. (2,439 x 61 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
- Runway 9R/27L: 8,003 x 200 ft. (2,439 x 61 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
- Runway 18L/36R: 12,504 x 200 ft. (3,811 x 61 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
- Runway 18R/36L: 8,003 x 200 ft. (2,439 x 61 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
For 12-month period ending September 30, 1999, the airport had 64,255 aircraft operations, an average of 176 per day: 73% military (46,783) and 27% general aviation (17,472). There are 107 aircraft based at this airport: 64% military (69), 16% jet aircraft (17), 10% single engine (11) and 9% helicopters (10).
