History

In 1965, Weltzien bought Acme Hill, a 100 acre farm, built his house and commuted by airplane from his private airstrip to his daily job. Soon after, friends joined and built their houses on parcels at the airport. Today, Skypark Airport is an airport housing 93 hangars, 135 based planes and 49 residential homes.
The flying club counts over 800 active members, including aircraft owners.
The airport has a good safety record: no deadly accidents have been recorded over the past 40 years.
