Stan Stamper Municipal Airport (IATA: HUJ, ICAO: KHHW, FAA LID: HHW) is a city-owned, public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of the central business district of Hugo, a city in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, United States.[1] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is classified as a general aviation airport.[2]

He was named Aviator of the Year in Oklahoma in 1997, and to the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 2012.
