[3][4][5] Westport Airport covers an area of 32 acres (13 ha) at an elevation of 1,290 feet (393 m) above mean sea level.

[1][2] The 30-foot wide runway is asphalt (with surface cracks, and with grass encroaching on the sites), and is only officially reported as rated for 3,000-pound gross weight aircraft with single-wheel landing gear.

[3][4][5][6] The airport also services as the headquarters and operating base of the local "Jayhawk Wing" of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), which has a large hangar there for its restored-and-flying single- and twin-engine World War II training aircraft.

Today, only Earl V. Long III—a noted local aircraft mechanic with degrees in math and physics, and much experience restoring vintage military aircraft—operates the field.

[7][5][10] In 1983, the Longs founded Westport AG Sales & Service, focusing largely on agricultural aircraft—particularly Cessna 188 Agwagon maintenance and parts supply.

[5] For the 12-month period ending June 22, 2012, the airport had 860 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 71 per month.
