Cindy Guntly Memorial Airport (FAA LID: 62C), originally Hunt Field, is a privately owned public use airport located 7 miles (11 km) northwest of the central business district of Franksville, a neighborhood of the village of Caledonia, in Racine County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned 62C by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.

The airport is named in honor to the owner's wife "Cindy Guntly" who was involved in a fatal car accident in 1986.[4]
