1934: MERCER AIRPORT: "IN THE BEGINNING"


What a difference 72 years makes! Here's an "Aero Service" aerial pic of Mercer Airport as it would have looked to pilots in the 1930's as they descended in their Waco biplanes or perhaps a Stinson "Reliant" and touched down on the grassy landing field at Mercer Airport. Today, County Executive Brian Hughes and his administration are planning on making Mercer into a first class airport with concrete runways, and aircraft electronics which weren't even conceived of when this photo was taken.
