Lambert Field Flight Plans and Local Airport News
A 1921 St Louis report recalls the Bridgeton aeronautical site and Major Albert Lambert’s push for a continental air route. Fifty years later dignitaries, including Mayor Alfonso Cervantes and Lawrence Roos, discuss updating Missouri aviation facilities and a new major air harbor. Lambert Field now spans over 2000 acres with a runway over 10,000 feet, designed for dual traffic. Smartt Field changes include Rex Kelly taking over a flying service and new Hangar activity as airport events draw crowds. The Airport Canton event is planned for April 15 with a public meeting and potential announcements.
