Bend Municipal Airport is a city-owned airport six miles northeast of Bend, in Deschutes County, Oregon.〔 This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility.〔(National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems ) for 2009–2013: (Appendix A: Part 4 (PDF, 1.61 MB) ). Federal Aviation Administration. Updated 15 Oct 2008.〕 Bend is home to Cessna Aircraft (formerly Columbia Aircraft) and Epic Aircraft. Commercial air traffic to Central Oregon uses Roberts Field in Redmond, Oregon, about 20 miles north of Bend. Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is assigned BDN by the FAA and has no IATA code〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bend Municipal Airport (IATA: none, ICAO: KBDN, FAA: BDN) )〕 (which assigned BDN to Talhar Airport in Badin, Pakistan〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Badin, Pakistan - Talhar Airport (IATA: BDN, ICAO: OPTH) )〕). ==History== Covering about , Bend Municipal Airport traces its history back to 1942. A group of Bend citizens banded together to deed a small piece of farmland to the City of Bend for a municipal landing strip. The site was developed and used for pilot training through World War II. After the war the airstrip was maintained by the City of Bend for civil use; it slowly grew during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1979 development of an Airport Master Plan was undertaken. This plan established the direction for development at the airport and forecast significant growth in activity at the Bend Airport. This Master Plan, however, was completed while General Aviation was booming across the country. A downturn in the general economy affected General Aviation in the 1980s and through the early 1990s and the forecast growth did not materialize. That changed by the late 1990s, and General Aviation began a resurgence that continues today, along with increased business and corporate aviation travel to Bend. Today Bend Municipal Airport is poised to be the General Aviation and Corporate Aviation gateway to Central Oregon. Continued development of Cessna Aircraft, Epic Aircraft, Leading Edge Aviation, Precise Flight, and other growing tenants on the Airport have made a thriving aviation business park of the Bend Airport. More than eighteen aviation related businesses on the airport employ more than 1000 people, making the Bend Municipal Airport one of the largest concentrations of family-wage jobs in the Bend area. Over the next several years a number of improvements are planned, including an Airport Master Plan Update and development of a full east side parallel taxiway, as well as more than of general aviation and corporate aviation facilities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bend Municipal Airport )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bend Municipal Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
