Garden County Airport/King Rhiley Field (OKS)

Garden County Airport (OKS), also known as King Rhiley Field, is a general aviation facility located approximately one mile southwest of Oshkosh, Nebraska. The airport primarily serves private pilots and small aircraft operations, offering a modest terminal area that functions as a pilot lounge and flight planning center. As a public-use field, it provides a vital link for the local community and is a popular destination for "fly-in" visits due to its proximity to local amenities. The airport is typically unattended, meaning there are no standard commercial airline services or staffed passenger desks. However, the facility is well-equipped for general aviation needs, featuring 24-hour self-service 100LL Avgas and Jet-A fuel accessible via a credit card system. Flag R Aviation Services LLC operates as the primary Fixed Base Operator (FBO) on the field, managing hangar space and tie-down arrangements for transient aircraft. A unique feature of this airport is its walking-distance access to the town of Oshkosh. The SNS Cafe & Lounge is located directly across the street, making it a convenient stop for meals. The field itself features a 4,699-foot concrete runway (12/30) with pilot-activated lighting, including PAPI and REIL systems. Safety and navigation are supported by the CTAF/UNICOM frequency 122.8 and direct communication with Denver ARTCC for clearance delivery.
