Perry Lefors Field (PPA/KPPA) is a city-owned general aviation airport serving Pampa, Texas, in the Panhandle. It occupies the former Pampa Army Airfield, a World War II training base, and today offers two asphalt runways, fuel, and hangars for private and business aircraft. No scheduled commercial service operates here; Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is the closest major airline gateway.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors check density altitude and wind before flying: the field sits above 3,200 ft, and Panhandle winds can make the shorter Runway 13/31 demanding. Call ahead for after-hours fuel or hangar access, as the airport is often unattended.
