Ozark Regional Airport[2] (IATA: WMH, ICAO: KBPK, FAA LID: BPK), also known as Baxter County Airport, is a county-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) northwest of the central business district of Mountain Home, a city in Baxter County, Arkansas, United States.[1] It was known as Baxter County Regional Airport until 2005.[3] The airport used to be served by Lone Star Airlines who operated services to Dallas-Fort Worth International in the mid-1990s.

This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Ozark Regional is assigned BPK by the FAA and WMH by the IATA. The airport's ICAO identifier is KBPK.[5]

The airport covers an area of 330 acres (134 ha) at an elevation of 928 feet (283 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,001 by 75 feet (1,524 x 23 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2010, the airport had 48,900 aircraft operations, an average of 133 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% military, and 1% air taxi. At that time there were 49 aircraft based at this airport: 67% single-engine, 31% multi-engine, and 2% jet.[1]
