About Tonopah Airport

Tonopah Airport (IATA: TPH, ICAO: KTPH, FAA LID: TPH) is a county-owned, public-use airport located seven nautical miles (13 km) east of the central business district of Tonopah, in Nye County, Nevada, United States.

It incorporates the former Tonopah Army Airfield, a World War II installation where many units of the USAAF, such as the 357th Fighter Group, trained. The 357th (whose pilots included Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson among others) later flew P-51 Mustang fighters against the German Luftwaffe, from their base at Leiston, on the south-eastern coast of Britain.
