AIRPORT HISTORY The site was developed and used for pilot training throughout World War II. Following the war, the airstrip was maintained by the City of Bend for general use. By the 1970's, it was clear that the Bend Municipal Airport was becoming a part of the transportation network for Central Oregon and development of a comprehensive Airport Master Plan was undertaken in 1979. This plan established much of the direction for development at the airport and forecasted significant growth in activity at the Bend Airport in coming years. This early Master Plan, however, was completed while General Aviation was booming across the country. A downturn in the economy affected General Aviation in the 1980's and through the early 1990's. As a result, the forecast growth in demand at the airport did not materialize. That all changed by the late 1990's and General Aviation began a significant resurgence that continues today with increased business and corporate aviation travel into and out of Bend.
