The airport
Smith Field (Siloam Springs Municipal Airport)
Smith Field is a city-owned, non-towered airport about three miles northeast of Siloam Springs, operating since 1963, near the Oklahoma line on the western edge of the region. The city operates the airport and keeps a hangar waiting list.
The city’s 2019 minimum standards are the clearest of any airport in the area about outside service providers, which makes planning here more straightforward.
What owners and operators here typically need
- Owner-flown aircraft in western Benton County and nearby Oklahoma
- Aircraft waiting on hangar space that spend time outdoors
- Occasional rather than weekly detailing for aircraft that fly less often
- Pre-sale preparation for aircraft being listed
Owners in Gentry, Gravette and Decatur may find Smith Field the closest option.
Access and scheduling
What has to be confirmed at Smith Field.
Service at this airport is subject to approval by the airport and facility, and to availability. Nothing is scheduled until these points are settled.
- The minimum standards require a valid agreement, lease or permit with the city for commercial activity. They also allow the city, at its discretion, to issue a permit to an off-airport operator requested by an airport user or tenant to perform a service on an infrequent basis.
- Operators with service vehicles must carry the motor vehicle liability coverage the standards specify, with the city as additional insured.
- Because the permit is requested in connection with an airport user, the aircraft owner’s request is part of the process.

Questions
About service at Smith Field.
How does an outside detailer get permission at Smith Field?
The city’s minimum standards allow it to issue a permit, at its discretion, to an off-airport operator requested by an airport user or tenant for infrequent service. Your request as the aircraft owner is part of that process.
Do you already hold a permit at Smith Field?
No. A permit would be requested for the specific job, and no work is scheduled until the city approves it.
My aircraft is outdoors while I wait for a hangar. What should I ask for?
Mention how long it has been outdoors and any covers in use. Outdoor time affects the exterior, the windshield and sometimes the cabin, and the scope should reflect that.
