Airglades Airport (FAA LID: 2IS) is a county-owned public-use airport in Hendry County, Florida, United States. It is located 5 miles (8.0 km) west of the central business district of Clewiston, Florida. History
Established as Riddle Field on 12 November 1942 by the United States Army Air Force. Assigned to USAAF Southeast Training Center (later Southeast Flying Training Command). Conducted contract basic flying training by Riddle-McKay Aero College. Fairchild PT-19s were the primary trainer used. Also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned.
Inactivated 31 December 1945 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program and was declared surplus in 1946. Responsibility for it was given to the War Assets Administration and was eventually acquired by Hendry County.
