Toledo Executive Airport is seven miles southeast of Toledo, in Wood County, Ohio. It is an FAA designated reliever to Toledo Express Airport (TOL), which is Toledo's primary airport.〔 Toledo Executive Airport was renamed from Metcalf Field in 2010.〔(Call it Toledo Executive Airport )〕 == History == The airport began as a grand dream on June 22, 1927 with the establishment of The Toledo Airport Committee. A site was chosen and funds were quickly raised, and on June 3, 1928 the "The Transcontinental Airport of Toledo, Incorporated." was dedicated to a large crowd. The dream was soon realized, as the airport set records for air mail and became the second largest airport East of the Rocky Mountains. The boom period did not last, however. Inadequate construction began to crumble, driving away business. The Great Depression hit. Ultimately, however, neighboring developments prevented the airport from expanding its runways to meet the needs of increasingly larger commercial aircraft. When the larger Toledo Express Airport was built in 1954, the field became redundant. The field languished for over a decade, being used for things such as fireworks displays and drag racing. Finally, the influence of General Aviation and business jets in the late 1960s and early 1970s brought the field back into use as an airport. Private, business and charter flights continue to be the primary activities through the present.〔 〕〔(A brief history of Toledo Executive 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「Toledo Executive Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
