Pioneer Airport covers an area of 15 acres (6 ha) at an elevation of 826 feet (252 m) above mean sea level.

[1] On the north end, there are 7 exhibit hangars, the Fergus Chapel and the Air Academy Lodge.

[citation needed] A flight service station relocated from Lone Rock, Wisconsin is also sited at the airport.

In the hangars are some of the oldest aircraft the museum has, including "Golden Age" (1920s/1930s) biplanes and vintage monoplanes such as Swallow and WACO biplanes, Travel Air, Curtiss Robin, Fairchild FC-2, Stinson Aircraft, Spartan C-3, Great Lakes 2T-1A acrobat, Aeronca K, Monocoupe, Howard DGA, Heath Parasol, Pietenpol Air Camper, and many others, most in special vintage-style hangars.
