Aerial view of Russell County Airport's runway
K24 · LIVE FROM THE FIELD

Watch the field, live.

We're mounting weatherproof cameras on the field so anyone can watch aircraft land on Runway 17/35, keep an eye on the ramp, and take in the approach over Lake Cumberland. Here's a preview of what's coming.

The main event: watch traffic land and depart on the 5,010-ft runway.

Runway 17/35 · K24

Cameras are being installed at the field. Target to go live: Fall 2026. Conditions shown are live from the nearest reporting station.

FROM THE COCKPIT

Until the cameras go up, here's the real thing.

Short final to Runway 35, touchdown and rollout, filmed from the cockpit in July 2026 and ending with a look down the ramp past the terminal. It runs half a minute and it is silent, so you can watch it anywhere.

THE PLAN

What the cameras will show.

Three angles, streamed to YouTube around the clock, so pilots, families, and plane-spotters can drop in any time.

Planes on final

A camera trained down Runway 17/35 so you can watch every arrival and departure, from a Cub to a King Air.

Live conditions

Current flight category and winds overlay the picture, straight from the field weather, so pilots can size up the pattern before they launch.

Sunsets over the lake

The approach camera looks out toward Lake Cumberland, one of the prettiest evening views in southern Kentucky.

Be there when it goes live.

We'll flip the runway camera on the moment it's mounted and tested. Want a heads-up, or have an idea for another angle? Let the airport know.
