A Look Back in Time
The story of Mason Jewett Field began in 1943. On December 16, Arthur Jewett bought 180 acres (73 hectares) of land. He wanted to build an airport there.
In 1944, the first runway was built. A few years later, in 1949, lights were added to the runway. This made it possible for planes to land and take off at night.
In March 1977, the Capital Region Airport Authority bought the airport from Arthur Jewett. They have owned and operated it ever since.
