Frasca Field (FAA LID: C16) is a privately owned public use airport located at the northern edge of Urbana in Champaign County, Illinois, United States. It is owned by Frasca Air Service, which also serves as the fixed-base operator (FBO).[1] The airport serves the greater Champaign-Urbana Metropolitan Area in East Central Illinois.
