History

The aerodrome was used as the primary relief landing field for No. 3 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) during World War II. No. 3 SFTS was based out of RCAF Station Lincoln Park in Calgary.

Aerodrome information

In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed at 51°16′N 113°56′W / 51.267°N 113.933°W / 51.267; -113.933 with a Var. 24 degrees E and elevation of 3650'. The aerodrome was listed with three runways as follows:^[2]

Airdrie Regional Airshow

The Airdrie Regional Airshow was held here every two years. Displays such as the Snowbirds, Viper West and CF-18 Demonstration Team were shown.

Due to the opening of runway 17L/35R at Calgary International Airport in 2014, the airshow was relocated to the Calgary/Springbank Airport, becoming Wings over Springbank.
