Dewitt Field - Old Town Municipal Airport (OLD)

Old Town Municipal Airport (OLD), also known as Dewitt Field, is a public-use facility located in Old Town, Maine. The airport primarily supports general aviation and is unique for its integrated seaplane base on the Penobscot River. The terminal building functions as a base for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services, which are managed directly by the City of Old Town, providing a central point for pilot and passenger coordination. Amenities within the terminal include a dedicated pilot lounge and public restroom facilities, offering a comfortable space for those transitioning through the airport. The facility is typically attended daily during standard business hours, though it features 24-hour self-service fueling for 100LL Avgas and Jet A via a credit card system. On-site maintenance is also available, with major airframe and powerplant services provided for based and transient aircraft. The airport infrastructure comprises two asphalt runways, with the longest measuring 4,001 feet (12/30), as well as an extensive 8,400-foot water landing area (17W/35W) for amphibious operations. As there is no air traffic control tower, pilots use the CTAF frequency 122.8 for self-announcement. Visitors should be aware of significant wildlife activity in the area, particularly deer and waterfowl, which can impact runway operations at dusk.
