Fort Walton Beach Airport (FAA LID: 1J9) is a public-use airport located two miles (3 km) east of the central business district of Navarre, Florida in the United States. It is privately owned by John S. Williams.[1]
Fort Walton Beach Airport covers an area of 15 acres (6.1 ha) and contains one runway designated 18/36 with a turf surface measuring 2,100 x 65 feet (640 x 20 m). For the 12-month period ending May 23, 2002, the airport had 8,030 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 22 per day.[1]
