A
Brief History of Kyle-Oakley Field
The need
for an airport for Murray and Calloway County was apparent to
further the growth and progress of the community.
The Murray Chamber of Commerce knew of the interest which the Murray
Jaycees had in working to obtain an airport. In the Spring of 1957
the Murray Chamber approached the Jaycees and offered the assistance
and full cooperation of the Chamber, if the Jaycees would undertake
the airport project.
The Jaycees endorsed the project and a committee was appointed after
approval by the board of directors. A campaign was established to
obtain approval from the State Department of Aeronautics. Local
individuals, business and all interested parties wrote letters and
made phone calls. The result was an approval to continue with the
project.
The Jaycees held a Radio Auction for the purpose of raising funds
for the Airport Project. With the success of the auction it was
evident that there would be an airport for Murray and Calloway Co..
On Saturday, October 28, 1961, Governor Bert T. Combs dedicated the
Airport in a ceremony attended by State and Local Officials as well
as many local citizens.
