Cleveland Airport
Judy Hoch McKeller's (Class of 1966) grandfather, Claude King, was an early aviation
pioneer and Commissioner of the Cleveland Airport at one time. Many of us remember
parking at the end of the runway and watching the planes land, but many don’t realize
the important place in aviation history that the Cleveland airport has. Her grandfather
built the first control tower and has the number 1 CAA (now FAA) ground to air license.
These photos are from the late 20’s to the 50’s of the original field (aerials taken from
about where the Bomber Squadron is now.) Judy thanks for sharing these family photos!
