Crandon Municipal Airport, also known as Steve Conway Municipal Airport, (FAA LID: Y55) is a city owned public use airport located 3 miles (5 km) southwest of the central business district of Crandon, a city in Forest County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.[2]

Although most airports in the United States use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and International Air Transport Association (IATA), this airport is assigned Y55 by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.

2016 improvement project[]

Between January and June 2016 the airport completed a $70,000 improvement project that was approved by Governor Scott Walker. The first part of the project was the construction of a six bay T-hangar. The airport then shut down for a few days in June to complete crack filling work on all pavements.[3]
