Located in Chapel Hill, NC, Horace Williams Airport originally opened in 1928 as Martindale Field. In 1940, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill greatly expanded the property with the help of UNC professor Horace Williams, the airport's namesake. During WWII, the airport was a training base for the UNC ROTC students and the United States Navy. Among the thousands who received training were presidents George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford. The airport continued to be a home for flight training, with the Chapel Hill Flying Club based there from 1962-2001. UNC Chapel Hill ran its air operations here from 1968-2011, flying university doctors and donated organs to rural parts of North Carolina and transporting university officials nationwide. Throughout the decades, the airport faced increasing criticism and pressure to close from the community and the university. After defying the unjustified hate for over fifty years and UNC forcing the airport into financial instability, it closed on May 15, 2018. The airport property is still almost entirely intact today and there are no immediate plans to develop the property. There is a sizable group of supporters actively working to reopen the airport; this rendering represents our dreams as the reimagined Horace Williams Airport, circa 2030. Time will tell if it comes to fruition... Welcome to Chapel Hill and Go Heels!
