The World War II Flight Training Museum, Douglas Air Base Preservation & Development Committee, and the City of Douglas invite the public to attend a significant groundbreaking ceremony at the 63rd Army Air Force Contract Pilot School (Primary) a.k.a. Douglas’ World War II Air Base on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, 10:00 a.m. at 1 Airport Circle. The ceremony aims to pay a special tribute to the cadets of the World War II era who underwent primary flight training in Douglas, as well as to Major Charles J. Loring, Jr., a distinguished former cadet and a valorous recipient of the Medal of Honor.

“Everyone is invited to join us as we honor the legacy of the historic air base, the profound influence of the approximately 10,000 cadets who received initial training in Douglas, and Major Loring’s extraordinary sacrifice for our nation and its freedom,’ says Mayor Tony Paulk.

The project will consist of numerous improvements throughout the base, including renaming the roadside park, adding park amenities, resurfacing Airport Circle roads, installing lighting, paving the little dirt road extension off Airport Circle, and continuing the rehabilitation of the historic buildings.

For more information about the groundbreaking ceremony or the Airport projects, please contact Georgia Henderson, Community Development Director, at (912) 383-0277.
