Lake City Municipal Airport (IATA: LCQ, ICAO: KLCQ, FAA LID: LCQ) is a city-owned public-use airport located three miles (5 km) east of the central business district of Lake City, in Columbia County, Florida, United States.[1]

The airport has two on-site operations that are unique to general aviation airports:

  • TIMCO [1] is an aircraft modification and rehabilitation operation for large (B-727, 737) civilian and military aircraft.
  • The US Forest Service [2] uses transport type aircraft (C-130) in support of its forest fire-fighting operations.

The airport was originally built during World War II to facilitate pilot training. After the war, the property was deemed surplus and subsequently given to the city of Lake City. Aero Corporation performed aircraft modification and rehabilitation during the 1970s, mostly military contracts.
