Long Description:
Meacham Field was purchased by the city of Fort Worth on July 3,
1925, named Fort Worth Municipal Airport. In 1927, the airport was
renamed Meacham Field. American Airways moved its headquarters to
Meacham Field in the early 1930s. The airport served the scheduled
commercial airline service needs of the Fort Worth area until 1953,
when Fort Worth transferred all commercial flights to Amon Carter
Field, later known as the Greater Southwest International Airport.
From 1953 to present, Meacham Field has primarily been used for
corporate aircraft, commuter flights, and student pilot training.
Meacham Field was renamed in 1985 to become Fort Worth Meacham
Airport, and in 1995 the name changed again to Fort Worth Meacham
International Airport.
