It is located four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) north of the central business district of Vernon, Texas.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2] HistoryActivated on September 23, 1942 as Vernon Airport. Conducted basic flying training until inactivated March 31, 1945. Primary use was basic flying training of flight cadets. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. Also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned. Also was an auxiliary to Frederick Army Airfield, Oklahoma. Transferred to Army Corps of Engineers on May 5, 1945. The airfield was turned over to civil control in February 1947 though the War Assets Administration (WAA). At some point a large hangar was relocated from the nearby Victory Field onto the airport. It served the dual purpose of transient hangar and Terminal until 1974 when a new terminal building was constructed.The hangar is still used for transient aircraft storage.
