Panama City-Bay County International Airport (IATA: PFN, ICAO: KPFN, FAA LID: PFN) is a former public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Panama City, in Bay County, Florida, United States. It was owned and operated by the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District. All commercial airline services were relocated to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport on May 22, 2010, but the airfield continued to service general aviation aircraft until October 1, 2010. The former airport grounds will be eventually turned over to LUK-MB1 LLC, which plans to remove the runways and build homes, shops, walking trails and a marina.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or airport:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
