A private, residential fly-in community built around a single turf runway near Vera, Oklahoma, just northeast of Tulsa. Homeowners taxi straight from their hangars onto Runway 17/35 — no tower, no airline traffic, just Cessnas, Pipers, and the occasional homebuilt sharing a quiet grass strip.
Skyhaven Airpark — officially Sellmeyer Field, FAA identifier OK01 — is a private, residential fly-in neighborhood two miles southwest of Vera, Oklahoma. It's been active since November 2000, built around a single 4,400-foot turf runway that doubles as the community's front yard.
There's no control tower, no scheduled service, and no aircraft here bigger than what fits comfortably in a residential hangar. Homeowners taxi from their driveways to the runway, and the neighborhood is organized and maintained by the Skyhaven Homeowners Association.
The field is privately owned by the Skyhaven Runway Association and is open to visiting pilots by prior permission only — this isn't a public-use airport.
The essentials for anyone planning to operate at OK01, pulled from current FAA airport data.

Private useWhat to expect in the traffic pattern and on frequency at an unattended, private turf strip.
The airpark is a neighborhood as much as it's an airfield — the HOA keeps both running.
The Skyhaven Homeowners Association governs the residential side of the airpark — covenants, shared runway upkeep, and the calendar of fly-ins that bring the neighborhood together. I currently serve as HOA president, working alongside the board on financial stewardship and long-range planning for the community.
