Dallas Bay Skypark (FAA LID: 1A0) is a public-use airport located 11 miles (18 km) north of the central business district of Chattanooga, in Hixson, Hamilton County, Tennessee, United States. HistoryDallas Bay Skypark began life as the Optimist Club Drag Strip back in the late 50s and survived until the early 60s. The dragstrip was moved to East Ridge and John Flewellen and his family bought the old dragstrip and turned it into a private runway. In the early 1970s the airstrip became an FAA-certified public airport with the designation 1A0.
In 2002, a group of investors, all with a passion for flying, bought Dallas Bay Skypark and have been running it ever since. The airport is still a full-service public airport with a flight school on premises.
