The Eugene-Mahlon Sweet Field Airport is located in Eugene, Oregon and has been in operation since the late 1920s. It was established as a private airfield owned by the Mahlon Sweet family, who had a passion for aviation. The airport was named after Mahlon Sweet and his son, Eugene, who were both pilots. In the early years of its existence, the airport served as an important hub for regional air traffic. During World War II, it served as a military airfield and saw a significant increase in traffic due to the war effort. After the war ended, it continued to serve as an important regional hub for commercial flights to major cities throughout Oregon and beyond. In recent years, it has seen a decrease in commercial flights due to competition from larger airports such as Portland International Airport (PDX). Despite this decline in passenger numbers, Eugene-Mahlon Sweet Field Airport remains an important part of Oregon’s aviation history and continues to provide essential services such as cargo and charter flights.
