Cable Airport is a non-towered public-use airport located two miles (3 km) northwest of the central business district of Upland, a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It is privately owned by the Cable Land Company.〔 ==History== Cable-Claremont Airport (as it was known until 1961) was founded in 1945 by Maude and Dewey Cable, who bought the land for $8,500.〔(Cable Airport History: In the Beginning )〕 The Cables divided the land, selling the northern portion for what the entire parcel had cost the Cables. That parcel was developed into a quarry by Holliday Rock, which recently erected its national headquarters (near the approach end of Runway 24 ). The first runway, 1-19, built by Dewey Cable himself, was long. It ran north-south, perpendicular to the prevailing winds, and had a steep gradient. The main runway, 6-24, was completed six months later. Unlike the first runway, it ran east-west (parallel to the wind, which is ideal), had a hard, flat surface, and by 1947 was long and wide.
