Labhart Field, designation (3KY2) on Kentucky air charts, and
is nestled on 120 acres of property, elevation 1265 ft.
Our runway is open during
daylight hours Monday through Friday. After hours, our web
site taps the ability of the internet to offer 24-hours access for
information about our kits. Our web site uniquely blends
company history, facilities, local geography, and company
related news, with helpful information such as links to Kolb
Builders sites. The site also details the various costs of
each aircraft and a wonderful selection of Kolb merchandise to
purchase.
