History

The Cape Girardeau RegionalAirport began in 1942. It was then called Harris Field and was used as a training grounds for Air ForcePilots. In 1945 the school closed and the airport reverted back to War Assets Administration as surplus property. In 1946-1947 the City of CapeGirardeau acquired the airport and it became known as the Cape GirardeauMunicipal Airport. The ConsolidatedSchool of Aviation moved their operations to Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport at this time. The school had been operating at the site of R.B. Potashnick Construction Company.

There was only one runway at the time the City of Cape purchased the airport. It was runway 02-20, which was half asphalt and half sod. The runway was 4,000 feet long, and was aligned northeast by southwest. In 1948, the first expansion of the airport began with asphalt being placed on the south half of Runway 02-20, construction of sod runway 12-30, runway lights and center taxiway lights. In 1950 Ozark Airlines became the first scheduled airline to serve CapeGirardeau and was only certified for Visual Flight Rules operations. The Consolidated School of Aviation sold their assets and Cape Central Airways was formed. A terminal building was built where the present fuel farm is located. The terminal consisted of offices for Cape Central Airways and Ozark Airlines, classrooms, a restaurant, and an apartment for the restaurant manager.
