Harford County Airport is a public airport located in the City of Churchville, in Harford County, Maryland, USA. Harford County Airport is a general aviation (GA) airport in northern Maryland that serves primarily recreational pilots. There are three runways at Harford, two grass/turf and one paved. The popular runway in the summer time is the grass runway 01/19. However, in November, the turf is closed as the grass generally remains wet and soggy over the winter months. The diagonal turf runway 14/32 is rarely used by powered pilots except during high crosswind conditions. The prevailing winds generally vary between favoring 28 and 19. The airport has a large sailplane/glider contingent and is home of the Atlantic Soaring Club. The airport serves some commercial activities, mainly sight seeing and flight training (through Harford Air Services) as well as biplane rides and hot air balloons (run by Light Flight Balloons www.fun-flying.com).
