Washington and its Airports

chet-aero.com home

In 1930 Washington was a city of just under a half million people. It was the seat of a limited government that was on the brink of expansion with Frankin Roosevelt's "New Deal," an expansion that continues with a few slowdowns to the present day. To some extent, the interest of this story stems from Washington's subsequent growth and prominence in American life.

Our main concern here is Washington's collection of aiports that Chet Warrington used in his aviation activities. We use the 1935 J18 sectional chart to show their locations.

Although Washington was endowed with a good number of airports, three of them play a principal role in our story:

Other airports noted around the Washington area in our story are as follows (see map for location):

  • Hybla Valley. North of Mt. Vernon, labelled as "Alexandria."
  • Beacon. Southest of Alexandria.
  • Intermediate 57-B. West of Bowie, MD, labelled as "Bowie.
