Bob Sikes Airport — Crestview, United States

Named for Bob Sikes, the long-serving Florida congressman remembered for steering military and public-works spending across the Panhandle, this Crestview field mixes general aviation with a steady undercurrent of defense-related flying tied to nearby Eglin Air Force Base and its sprawling test ranges. Two paved runways sit on rolling terrain a little more than two hundred feet above sea level, well inland from the Gulf beaches that draw tourists to the rest of Okaloosa County. Corporate turboprops, flight-training aircraft, and occasional military traffic share the ramp, and the surrounding land still carries the pine-forest character typical of Florida's inland north.
