FAA diagram of Dothan Regional Airport |
Dothan Regional Airport (IATA: DHN, ICAO: KDHN, FAA LID: DHN) is a public use airport in the Dale County portion of Dothan, Alabama, located five nautical miles (9 km) northwest of the central business district of Dothan, a city primarily in Houston County, Alabama, United States. It is mostly used for military aviation, but is also served by one commercial airline. History
In 1941 the United States Army Air Corps constructed Napier Field, named in honor of Major Edward L. Napier of Union Springs, Alabama. One of the Army's first flight surgeons, he was killed in a plane crash at McCook Field in Dayton, Ohio.
Napier was assiged to the Southeast Training Center of the Army Air Force Training Command. It was commanded by the 73d Army Air Force Base Unit.
The 29th Flying Training Wing was activated at Napier on 26 December 42. The 2116th (Pilot School, Advanced, Single-Engine) was main operational group at Napier Field. The group flew mostly AT-6 Texans as well as providing advanced & specialized training in single engine aircraft, including P-40 fighters. The first aircraft began operating on the field on October 1, 1941.
On December 20, 1941, the first group of British cadets arrived for training. The first American cadets graduated on July 3, 1942 (42-F). In late May 1945, officers from the Mexican Army began P-40 training at Napier Field.
The field was deactivated on October 31, 1945, and the airfield and its improvements were subsequently made available to the City of Dothan and Houston County under an Agreement in 1946 which was jointly accepted at that time. The airport lands lay dormant for about 20 years and Houston County later turned its share of Napier Field to the City.
In the early 1960s, a complete overhaul of the facility commenced with the old AAF airfield layout being largely dug up and turned into hardcore for new jet runways, buildings and other facilities built for a civilian airport. Dothan Regional Airport opened to commercial activity on February 15, 1965.
