Pacific City State Airport (PFC)

Pacific City State Airport (PFC) is a small, public-use general aviation facility located in Tillamook County, Oregon, approximately 1 mile south of the city center. Owned and operated by the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODAV), the airport functions as a basic regional landing ground and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building or staffed administrative offices. It serves as a vital access point for private pilots and outdoor enthusiasts visiting the adjacent Bob Straub State Park and the Nestucca River estuary.

Facilities at the airstrip are extremely minimal, reflecting its status as an unattended general aviation airfield. There are no on-site commercial amenities such as restrooms, restaurants, or indoor waiting areas, and the airport lacks standard aviation services like on-site refueling or aircraft maintenance. Travelers and pilots are advised to be completely self-sufficient and to handle all logistical needs, including food and water, in the nearby Pacific City township prior to arrival at the field.

Operationally, the airport is designated as an 'Oregon State Warning Airport' due to several unique environmental hazards. The single 1,860-foot asphalt runway (14/32) is subject to seasonal flooding and may be partially underwater during winter high tides or heavy coastal storms. Additionally, significant obstructions including 40-foot power lines and trees are located near the runway ends, requiring pilots to exercise extreme caution and contact ODAV for the latest field conditions before attempting to utilize the facility.
