Youngstown Executive Airport (FAA LID 06G) was a public airport in Mahoning County, Ohio, located 51 nautical miles southeast of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
Opening at some point between 1960 and 1962, this airport was a multi-use public airport for charters, aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, and even regular drag racing in its later years (causing resentment by the local pilots).[1] In the 1970s, the airport was a Cessna aircraft dealership.[1]
Today, the airfield is used by the NightHawks RC Club.[1] The NightHawks rent it from the Allison Brothers, who currently own the airfield.[1] A 1,200-foot portion of the former runway has been repaved for RC aircraft usage.
The airport had two T-hangars north of the runway, along with an administration building (FBO), repair shop, and another hangar further down. Operating for their successful charter operations they had the following aircraft: a Cessna 421 (Golden Eagle),a C-410, multiple C-310's, a Piper Navajo, and multiple Beechcraft Model 18's in passenger or cargo configurations.[1]
