Airport
The Frederick Municipal Airport has long been a vital and necessary
asset to the community. Aviation began in Frederick on August 21, 1911,
when a flight to Frederick occurred. This historical cross-country
flight was made in a Wright "B" Airplane piloted by Lieutenant Hap
Arnold, which took off at 6:34 am from College Park and landed in
Frederick, Maryland, at 7:23 am. Lieutenant Hap Arnold continued his
career in military aviation and eventually became General of the United
States Air Force. The copilot on the flight was Captain Chandler.
Construction at the present site of Frederick Municipal Airport began
March 26, 1946, under the administration of Mayor Lloyd C. Culler. The
first airplane to land in the grass at the new airport was a Stinson
piloted by A.B. Sutherland on April 17, 1946. To build the airport, the
city received a number of federal and state grants to construct runways,
taxiways, and other facilities to support the airport. The airport was
dedicated on April 27, 1949.
