The airport features a paved runway 18/36 with GPS instrument approaches, plus a turf runway for tailwheel operations. Located within Osage Park, the airport offers convenient access to downtown Bentonville and the surrounding Northwest Arkansas business corridor.
Individual aircraft owners at KVBT need secure, enclosed storage for personal aircraft. Whether you fly a Cessna 172, Bonanza, or Cirrus SR22, we engineer hangars sized for your specific aircraft with room for workshop space, parts storage, and comfortable access. Insulation and climate control options protect your investment from Arkansas weather extremes.
Box hangars provide efficient aircraft storage with individual door access. These clear-span steel structures offer the protection of enclosed storage without shared walls. Missouri Metal Buildings engineers box hangars from 40' to 80'+ widths, accommodating single-engine through light twin aircraft common at general aviation fields like KVBT.
Aircraft maintenance operations at Thaden Field require functional workspace with adequate lighting, ventilation, and utility access. We design maintenance hangars with overhead doors sized for aircraft access, concrete floors suitable for maintenance operations, and provisions for compressed air, electricity, and specialized equipment.
Northwest Arkansas businesses seeking a more personal aviation experience often choose Thaden Field over the larger XNA. Corporate hangars at KVBT house turboprops and smaller business aircraft with the convenience of quick access and less traffic. Our designs accommodate aircraft up to the field's operational limits.
The airport honors Louise McPhetridge Thaden (1905-1979), a Bentonville native who became one of America's most accomplished female aviators. Thaden won the 1936 Bendix Trophy Race, set multiple altitude and endurance records, and helped establish women's roles in aviation. The airport's heritage attracts aviation enthusiasts and connects to the broader Bentonville community's celebration of its aviation history.
