Tonopah Airport
Tonopah Airport serves the historic mining town of Tonopah in central Nevada, situated along the remote stretch of US Route 95 between Las Vegas and Reno. TPH is a small general aviation facility without scheduled commercial airline service, primarily accommodating private pilots, charter flights, and visitors exploring the region's silver mining heritage and dark-sky stargazing opportunities.
