Distance & flight time from APG
Phillips Army Air Field
Military rather than commercial in purpose, Phillips Army Air Field carries the code APG and sits on the Aberdeen Proving Ground installation in Harford County, Maryland. Resting 57 feet above sea level, the field is built around a single runway supporting U.S. Army testing, training, and administrative flight operations rather than public travel. Aberdeen Proving Ground has long served as an Army research and ordnance testing site, and the airfield exists to support that mission rather than civilian passengers. Access to APG stays restricted to military and authorized personnel, setting it apart from the general aviation and commercial fields more typical among airports carrying similarly short three-letter codes.
