}}Norwood Memorial Airport {{Airport codes|OWD|KOWD|OWD}}[2][3] is a public-use airport located two miles (3 km) east of the central business district of Norwood, a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States. This airport is owned by the Town of Norwood.[1] Located off Route 128, it is home to the offices of prominent local businessmen and several maintenance facilities. It was formerly Outlying Landing Field Norwood, used to train pilots from 1942 to 1945 for World War II.[4] It took the place of the former Boston Metropolitan Airport located in Canton, Massachusetts which had closed by 1970, as the newer Norwood facility was on the northwest side of Interstate 95 between its exits 11 and 12, as the then-new highway's roadbed was being built in Canton the early-to-mid-1960s.[5]

Facilities and aircraft

Norwood Memorial Airport covers an area of {{convert|688|acre|ha|lk=on}} and has two runways:[1]

  • Runway 10/28: 3,995 x 75 ft (1,218 x 23 m), Surface: Asphalt
  • Runway 17/35: 4,008 x 100 ft (1,222 x 30 m), Surface: Asphalt

For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2006, the airport had 100,000 aircraft operations, an average of 273 per day: 77% general aviation, 22% air taxi and 1% military.[1]

There are 246 aircraft based at this airport: 81% single engine, 12% multi-engine, 4% jet aircraft and 2% helicopters.[1]

The airport also includes two flight schools and Flight Level Aviation as an FBO. Charter services operate commonly out of the airport.

As a result of federal budget cuts, the air traffic control tower was to be closed in 2013, but FAA funding was restored before closure took place, enabling continued operation.[6]

Incidents

On June 4, 2007 a Mooney M-20-P crashed into the woods south of the airport while on final approach. One person was killed.[7]

In March 2010, the airport was closed due to severe flooding.[8]

No aircraft were visible on the field.}}
