St. Petersburg celebrates its place in aviation history – January 2014 marked the 100th
anniversary of our nation’s first scheduled airline
flight. Although nationally recognized as the birthplace of scheduled airline flight, St. Petersburg is also
home to an active airport that is rich with even more
aviation history, Albert Whitted Airport.
In 2013, Albert Whitted Airport celebrated
its 85th anniversary, although the field has
actually been around much longer. National
Airlines, one of the nation’s first airlines, began
service here in 1934. In the late 1930s, Goodyear
chose Albert Whitted as one of the first airports to
base its famous blimps. During World War II, Albert
Whitted Airport helped support the war effort when
it was converted from a public airfield to a military
air base. For generations, Albert Whitted Airport has
served us in many unique and often unrecognized
ways. This service to our community continues today.
Albert Whitted Airport Preservation Society
(AWAPS) was formed in 2003 with the mission
of preserving and enhancing Albert Whitted
Airport. AWAPS works with our fellow citizens and businesses to keep this downtown transportation and commerce center a vital part of our city. Our vision is to make
St. Petersburg’s downtown airport the finest general aviation airport in the country: one that incorporates public
recreation areas, aviation education, vibrant airport businesses and an aviation museum to show our city’s proud
place in aviation history.
Albert Whitted Airport is one of St. Petersburg’s
most valuable assets. It is rich with history, vibrant with
business and enticing with things to see and do. Visit Albert
Whitted Airport today – you’ll be amazed at what you will
find at St. Petersburg’s downtown gem. For more information, free flights for youth and monthly
event details, visit www.awaps.org or
call 727-822-1532.
