Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field — Coeur d'Alene, United States

The airport's memorable second name honors Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington, a Medal of Honor recipient raised in the area who led the Marine Corps' famed 'Black Sheep' squadron against Japanese forces in the Pacific and later endured captivity as a prisoner of war before his exploits inspired a network television series decades afterward. COE itself serves Coeur d'Alene and the broader Idaho Panhandle primarily through general aviation, with flight schools, private owners, and charter operators making up most daily traffic in place of scheduled airline service. Its proximity to Coeur d'Alene Lake, a resort destination ringed by pine forest and popular with boaters and golfers, brings a seasonal influx of private and corporate aircraft each summer. Regional wildfire season also puts the airfield to use as a staging point for aerial firefighting resources when nearby forests are threatened.
