Nampa Municipal Airport (ICAO: KMAN, FAA LID: MAN, formerly S67) is a city-owned public airport in Nampa, in Canyon County, Idaho.[2] The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 called it a general aviation airport.[3]

It is used for private, emergency, military and industrial aviation and is home to the Warhawk Air Museum. The airport is under construction. The National Guard Base is on airport grounds. Nampa Municipal Airport is a member of Rocky Mountain Air and the Snake River Flight Training Club. Mission Aviation Fellowship is also headquartered at the Nampa Airport.

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is assigned MAN by the FAA and has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned MAN to Manchester Airport in Manchester, England, United Kingdom[5]).
