历史

[编辑]

弗雷斯诺钱德勒行政机场是加利福尼亚州历史最悠久的机场之一。

机场的历史可被追溯到第一次世界大战结束时,当时弗雷斯诺区域内尚未有航空设施。意识到这个问题后,威尔伯·F·钱德勒(Wilber F. Chandler)和埃德娜·M·戈布尔(Edna M. Goble)夫妇决定在作物收获后允许飞行员在他们的农田上起降。飞行员称呼此处为“钱德勒起降场”(Chandler Field)。[4][5]

History

[编辑]

Fresno Chandler Executive Airport is one of the oldest operational airports in California.

The history of the airport stretches back to the end of World War I. At the time, there were no facilities for aviation in the Fresno area. Recognizing the problem, husband and wife Wilber F. Chandler and Edna Maria Goble allowed pilots to take off and land in their fields once the crops were harvested.[4] Pilots called the site "Chandler Field."

1923年,当地的飞行员组织了“世界上最伟大的空中马戏团”以为一座永久性的新机场筹措资金。马戏团在当年的感恩节下午进行了表演,项目包括竞速、跳伞和双翼机翼上行走。当地商会亦试图通过发行两项独立债券以购买一处可供建设机场的地产。但这两项措施都没有成效。[5]

1929年,钱德勒夫妇决定施以援手,捐出了他们的农场中的100英亩(40公顷;0.40平方千米)土地以建设一座公共机场。1929年11月初,机场正式开放使用。[5]

该机场随后进行了一项耗资达50,000美元的改进工程,包括一条长2500英尺的涂油跑道与一座机库。[5]

Efforts to raise funds a permanent aviation field in the city of Fresno started in the early 1920s. One notable fundraiser was the "World's Greatest Aerial Circus" held at the Chandler farm on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day 1923 featuring races, parachute jumps and dual wing walking.

In 1929, the Chandler family donated 100 acres of their land to the city to be used as a public-use airfield. The site was named after the family and opened as Chandler Air Field in November 1929.[6] The airport was used by both civil and commercial aviation.

On March 23, 1930, Charles Lindbergh and his wife landed briefly at the airport and were greeted by a crowd of 20,000.[4]

Less than a decade after it was open, it was already clear that the small runway would not be able to accommodate the increasingly larger airplanes used by the commercial airlines. Chandler's runway was extended to 4,000 feet in 1938 as part of a Works Project Administration project.[4]

In early 1941, shortly before the United States officially entered World War II, the United States Army Air Corps Southwest Air District took over the airport while nearby Hammer Field was being built. Hammer Field opened in June 1942 and all military activity moved there.

After the end of the war, Hammer Field was inactivated by the Army Air Forces, and in 1946 the War Assets Administration reallocated the property to the city of Fresno. The airport opened in 1948 as the Fresno Air Terminal (FAT) (it has since been renamed the Fresno Yosemite International Airport). Trans World Airlines (TWA) and United Airlines flights to San Francisco/Oakland and Los Angeles moved from Chandler Field to the newly opened airport.

After the move, Chandler Airport was designated as a reliever airport for Fresno Yosemite International Airport and has been marketed as an executive airport located closer to Downtown Fresno.

Facilities and aircraft

For the 12-month period ending May 9, 2017 the airport had 24,885 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 68 per day. At that time there were 124 aircraft based at this airport: 83% single-engine, 7% ultralight, 6% multi-engine, 4% helicopter, and 1% jet.[1]
