Tarmac Designs 1:400 Rickenbacker International Airport ATC Tower (LCK)

Located 10 miles south of Columbus, Ohio, Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) carries a legacy that stretches from World War II to the present day. Originally opened in 1942 as Lockbourne Army Air Base, the facility was renamed in 1974 to honor Eddie Rickenbacker — Columbus native and America's leading fighter ace of World War I. Today, LCK operates as one of the country's premier cargo hubs, while still hosting the Ohio Air National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing — the first ANG unit to fly KC-135 Stratotankers — keeping its military aviation heritage very much alive.

With two parallel runways stretching over 12,000 feet and capable of handling the world's largest aircraft, Rickenbacker's control tower oversees a uniquely diverse mix of heavy cargo freighters, tanker aircraft, and commercial traffic — one of the most operationally varied airfields in the Midwest.

This detailed model captures the tower's distinctive structure and modern design — a standout piece for any cargo, military, or Midwest-themed airport display.
