Oklahoma Air & Space Port at Burns Flat is an FAA-AST licensed horizontal-launch spaceport (licensed June 2006) operated by the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority. Built on the former Clinton-Sherman AFB, it features a 13,503-foot runway — one of the longest in the U.S. — and has historically hosted the Rocket Racing League, suborbital flight tests, and hypersonic research operations.

Strategic Value
Underused but uniquely capable: combination of one of the longest runways in North America and a surrounding warning area gives the site a niche edge for hypersonic and large-airframe flight test. State-funded, with no single-tenant risk like Midland.
Recent Activity
Continued DoD hypersonic and unmanned-systems test bookings through 2025; ongoing OSIDA-led commercial recruitment.
2026
Continued hypersonic flight test cadence under classified DoD programs
