Airport of sorts since 1927 Winchester aviation history
Editor notes Winchester has operated an airfield in some form since 1927. Bowles Field on Rt 50 near Rt 522 preceded the 1987 site on 127 acres from Blanton Lewis. The first 60 by 80 foot hangar was city built with state help, and later efforts included Jaycees beautification.
