History of our airport
Before the 1931 earthquake the land which is now the airport was under the sea |
After the earthquake |
In 1932 volunteers from the Napier Aero Club built a new aerodrome. There was a airplane show for its opening. |
In 1953 bigger planes started using the airport as air traffic control started being used full time. There was now also a new tarmac. |
In 1964 the Hawkes Bay Airport was officially opened. |
It's quite a lovely airport!
ReplyDeleteWe have an executive airport over on the Quebec side of the river, and the international airport south of the city. There's also a small airport here that also houses our air and space museum.
the air and space museum would be an interesting place :)
Deletethink the nearest one to us would be Whangarei which is about an hour away or Auckland which is about 2 hours away, other than that Mangawhai is too small to have one.
ReplyDeletedont think Whangarei had an airport
DeleteI have both BIG and small airports near me. :))
