Bremerton National Airport (IATA: PWT, ICAO: KPWT, FAA LID: PWT) is eight miles southwest of downtown Bremerton, in Kitsap County, Washington.[1] It is owned by the Port of Bremerton.[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]
It is the largest airport on the Kitsap Peninsula with an all-weather, fully lit 6,000-foot runway.[3] It was known as Kitsap County Airport until July 1, 1983.[3]
History
During World War II, Kitsap County Airport was used by the United States Navy as an outer landing field for NAS Seattle.[4] Military use continued throughout the Cold War and it would occasionally host temporary detachments of aircraft from the Navy.[5]
BNA has a second runway which has been closed for some time. The second strip is currently used as a drag strip by Bremerton Motorsports Park.[6] In 1954, Kitsap County Airport was the site for the SCCA Seafair Nationals. This was Ferrari's debut on a Northwest track at a time when the company was just starting to dominate west coast sports car racing.[7]
Facilities
The airport covers 1,729 acres (700 ha) at an elevation of 444 feet (135 m). Its one runway, 2/20, is 6,000 by 150 feet (1,829 x 46 m) asphalt.[1]
In the year ending August 31, 2014, the airport had 66,000 aircraft operations, average 181 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% military, and <1% air taxi. 168 aircraft were then based at this airport: 88% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 2% jet, 2% helicopter, 1% glider, and 1% ultralight.[1]
