BEND MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

Located on approximately 415 acres five miles northeast of the

City of Bend, Oregon, the Bend Municipal Airport traces its history back to 1942.  The country was at war and there was an immediate need across the western states for training sites for aviators for the war effort.  To this purpose, a group of patriotic Bend citizens banded together to deed a small piece of farmland to the City of Bend for the express purpose that a municipally owned and operated landing strip be established.  The site was developed and used for pilot training throughout World War II.  Following the war, the airstrip was maintained by the City of Bend for general use, where it experienced slow growth throughout the 1950's and 1960's.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND OBJECTIVES:

There have been significant accomplishments at the Airport over the past few years.  With increased activity at the Airport and an increasing number of businesses located on the Airport, major safety and Capital Improvement Projects are programmed over the next few years.  For more information on these recent accomplishments and planned improvements to the Bend Municipal Airport, please refer to the sidebar links to the Airport Manager's Updates.  Below are useful aviation related internet links and Central Oregon visitor links, as well as links to the eighteen businesses located on the Airport.  Welcome to the Bend Airport and to the Bend area.  Please enjoy your stay!
