Miller Field (VTN)

Miller Field serves Valentine and Cherry County as a public-use general aviation airport with excellent facilities for private and charter aircraft operations. The airport features two concrete runways: the primary 4,704-foot Runway 14/32 and crosswind 3,701-foot Runway 3/21, both equipped with medium intensity runway lights (MIRL), precision approach path indicators (PAPI), and runway end identifier lights (REIL) for safe night operations. Fuel is available 24 hours via credit card or by calling (402) 376-2215 for after-hours service arrangements. The facility houses six municipality-owned box hangars, three private hangars, and three six-space T-hangars, providing ample aircraft storage options. Ground transportation requires advance planning as no rental cars or rideshare services operate directly from the airport - visitors should arrange pickup with local hotels, ranch shuttles, or taxi services before arrival. The airport averages 94 aircraft operations per week, with 81% general aviation, 19% air taxi, and minimal military traffic. Denver ARTCC provides approach and departure control services on frequencies 127.95/338.2. Located at 2,595 feet elevation in Nebraska's Sandhills region, weather conditions can change rapidly, particularly during winter months when snow and ice may affect operations. The airport recently completed an apron expansion project that was recognized as the 2025 Project of the Year for enhancing operational capacity and safety. For after-hours assistance or hangar arrangements, contact the City of Valentine at (402) 376-2323. The airport's strategic location makes it popular for hunting, fishing, and recreational flying activities throughout Cherry County's scenic landscapes.
