Timmerman Airport {{airport codes|MWC|KMWC|MWC}}, known locally as Timmerman Field, is an airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, owned by Milwaukee County. Located 5 miles (8 km) northwest of the city center, it is used mainly for general or private aviation.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023, in which it is categorized as a regional reliever airport facility.[2] HistoryThe airport was built in 1929 and dedicated on July 6, 1930,[3] one of 25 such projects in U.S. cities by the newly incorporated airplane manufacturer Curtiss-Wright.[4] The airport was originally known as Curtiss-Wright Field, hence the letters "WC" in its airport codes. In 1945, Curtiss-Wright sold it to Fliteways, Inc., the airport's property manager since 1936.[5] Milwaukee County purchased the airport from Fliteways in July 1947, when it was {{convert|131|acre|ha}} in size.[6][7][8] It was host to the Experimental Aircraft Association's earliest Fly-In Conventions from 1953 to 1958. The airport was renamed in July 1959 for Lawrence J. Timmerman (1878–1959), chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors from 1936 to 1959.[9][10] Current UsersLawrence J. Timmerman Airport currently serves various general aviation groups. The current fixed-base operator is Spring City Aviation. The airport is home to the Milwaukee chapter of Youth and Aviation, as well as two Civil Air Patrol squadrons; the Timmerman Composite Squadron, and Milwaukee Senior Support Squadron 10. The airport also serves many private and public users. Facilities and aircraftLawrence J. Timmerman Airport covers an area of {{convert|420|acre|ha}} and contains two asphalt paved runways: 15L/33R measuring 4,103 x 75 ft (1,251 x 23 m) and 4L/22R measuring 3,201 x 75 ft (976 x 23 m).
