Wagga Wagga Airport

Wagga Wagga Airport, New South Wales, shares a border with the RAAF Base Wagga. Located about 11 km from the city of Wagga Wagga, the airport is leased from the Department of Defence, on a 30-year lease. The RAAF Base Wagga is a ground-training base, but military aircraft use the field for transporting passengers and freight. In 1939, the RAAF sought to have an inland base, and Group Cpt. “Harry” Cobby consulted a Wagga residents for suggestions. Hughie Condon, the resident, was the Department of Defence’s Examiner of Airmen, and well qualified to decide on an airfield location. The location he chose was approved and construction soon began. There was a civilian aerodrome in the area at the time. Surrounding councils were unhappy with the choice made. The base became operational in 1940. Advanced training of pilots who had completely Elementary Flying Training Schools were further instructed at this base. It wasn’t long before the decision was made to accommodate civilian planes. By 1954, the airport had upgraded to bitumen runways and upgraded facilities, just in time for Queen ElizabethIIs visit to Wagga.
