Pottstown Municipal Airport (FAA LID: N47) is a public use airport located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is owned by the Borough of Pottstown and located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of Pottstown's central business district.
TNT Air, Inc offers regular fixed base operator (FBO) services, as well as flight training. Since 2004, the airport hosts an Annual Airport Community Day to raise awareness of general aviation in its local communities. History
In 1946 John Basco and Charles Novack purchased the land now occupied by the airport. Construction of the buildings began a year later, in 1947, and an Open House was held on September 26, 1948. The airport was originally referred to as Stowe Airport or Basco's Airport. A 2,700-foot (820 m)-long runway was built in 1961, and a parallel taxiway was built in 1965. During the 1980s a business park was added.
As part of the federal Airport Improvement Program, the airport began multiple projects over the last few years. In 2003 a new hangar was completed. The fuel farm tanks were refinished in December 2005. The apron and taxiway was repaved in the spring of 2007.
