Amador County Airport (ICAO: KJAQ, FAA LID: JAQ, formerly O70), also known as Westover Field, is a county-owned public-use airport in Amador County, California, United States. It is located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of the central business district of Jackson, California.[1] The airport is mostly used for general aviation.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned JAQ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[2] (which assigned JAQ to Jacquinot Bay Airport in Papua New Guinea[3]).
