History

State records show the original Roseau Airport was graded and lighted in 1947. In 1962, the airport was relocated to its current site. According to FAA records ROX was activated in September 1962 for civil public use which corresponds to the time the runway and apron were paved. The airport was originally constructed with a paved and lighted 3,700-foot long runway to serve the community. The runway was extended by 200 feet in 1975 and extended further to 4,400 feet in 1990. In 1999 the airport was renamed Roseau Municipal Airport/Rudy Billberg Field. Rudy Billberg was a Roseau native and a 1998 inductee to the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame. Billberg, a commercial pilot and outdoorsman, was one of the state’s first flight examiners. He flew commercially for 40 years in Minnesota and Alaska. He was a Northwest Airlines captain and flew B-25 air fire tankers in Alaska. Billberg died in 2007.^[3]
