History


During World War II, the facility was built in 1943 by the United States Army Air Forces as a Third Air Force auxiliary landing field known as Carrabelle Flight Strip. During the war, it served as an auxiliary airfield, controlled by Dale Mabry Army Airfield near Tallahassee. No permanent units were assigned to the airfield.

Turned over to civil use after the war, it is now a public airport providing general aviation service.
