Heber City Municipal Airport (ICAO: KHCR, FAA LID: HCR), also known as Russ McDonald Field, is a city-owned, public-use airport located 1 mi (2 km) south of Heber City, in Wasatch County, Utah, United States,^[1] east of Salt Lake City. The airport is untowered and was activated in November 1947.^[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.^[2]

Heber City Municipal Airport covers an area of 401 acres (162 ha) at an elevation of 5,637 feet (1,718 m). It has one runway designated 4/22 with an asphalt surface measuring 6,899 by 75 feet with a PCN rating of 32/F/B/X/T .^[1]

Since 1986 the airport has received over $17 million in federal grant funds for development and improvements from the FAA's Airport and Airway Trust Fund.^[3]

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport had 28,302 aircraft operations, an average of 77 per day: 94% general aviation, 5% air taxi, and less than 1% military. At that time there were 96 aircraft based at this airport: 69% single-engine, 6% multi-engine, 6% jet, 3% helicopter, and 16% glider.^[1]

The airport has been cited since 2016 by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association as an airfield that has egregious prices and fees.^[4] AOPA has asked the city of Heber to increase business competition at the airport by allowing additional fixed-base operators at the airport.^[3] However, the Heber City Council voted to revert to 2016 airport minimum standards and suspend consideration of a new FBO and self-service fuel until completion of a new airport master plan.^[5]
