恩納小飛行場 (Onna Cub Strip)

 

A piper cub strip on Onna was begun on April 16. By April 20 enough of the strip had been completed to enable the first plane to land. The strip, 1, 000 feet long and 130
feet wide, with all necessary accessories, was finished April 24. In September a C-47
transport plane made an emergency landing on the cub strip, and to enable it to take off again an extra 150 feet were added to the runway in less than 24 hours.

On an obscure and tiny Piper Cub strip, this huge C-47 transport made a forced landirig due to bad weather and other fields already crowded. Our emergency crews were called out and hastily added another 150 feet to the runway so that the big ship was able to take off.
