Ortner Airport, located in Wakeman, Ohio, has a rich history dating back to 1961 when it gained recognition for its exceptional service in hauling heavy construction vehicles and spare parts for the United States Government's Dew Line project. With its ability to access remote locations that larger cargo planes couldn't reach, Ortner Airport played a crucial role in the expedient resupply of vital equipment and parts, ensuring the continuous operation of the project in the harshest of conditions.
Under new ownership since 2011, Ortner Airport has undergone significant renovations and upgrades, including the remodeling of the pilot lounge, repaving of the runway, and the addition of 10 T-hangars. Situated on a 125-acre property, the airport continues to serve the aviation community, offering a reliable and efficient hub for pilots and their aircraft.
