Read the story here!  The Monrovia Airport / Foothill Flying Field (1928 – 1953)
Don Roberson first opened the “Foothill Flying Field” in 1928 at the southeast corner of Shamrock Ave. and Huntington Drive, due south of the Museum. It provided a single, 2,700-foot-long, unpaved runway, oriented northeast/southwest. Many Monrovians learned to fly at the airfield, including Betty Scott and Leroy Criss. Instructions cost $1.50 per lesson. The U.S. Post Office used the airfield for airmail transfers, including the first helicopter mail flight. |
