Okeechobee County Airport

Okeechobee County Airport (IATA: OBE, ICAO: KOBE, FAA LID: OBE) is a general aviation airport located 3 mi (4.82 km) northwest of Okeechobee, in Okeechobee County, Florida.

The airport was opened in April 1940 as Conners Field.

It was leased by the United States Army Air Corps in 1941 as an auxiliary training field, and used by the Hendricks Army Airfield B-17 Flying Fortress training school near Sebring during World War II.

Since then, Okeechobee has been operated as a general aviation airport.
