Milton: Peter Prince Airport

Peter Prince Airport, previously Milton “T”, has been in use as an “aircraft land facility” since the early 1930’s. At that time, a rotating beacon was installed by the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA, predecessor to the FAA) to identify an emergency landing strip to be used in conjunction with their night navigation network. The advent of radio beam navigation was cause for the CAA to abandon the facility and for Santa Rosa County to obtain title to the original property on August 23, 1934.
