Collegedale Municipal Airport is a city owned, public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southeast of the central business district of the Collegedale, a city in Hamilton County, Tennessee, United States.〔 Collegedale Municipal is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the state of Tennessee with an average of 120 aircraft stationed there. It won the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission's "Airport of the Year" award in 2003. The airport does not provide scheduled commercial service. However, charter service is provided by Aviation Specialists, Inc., a private company located at the airport, that offers flight instruction and a banner towing operation. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned FGU by the FAA〔 but has no designation from the IATA〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Collegedale Municipal Airport (IATA: none, ICAO: KFGU, FAA: FGU) ) 〕 (which assigned FGU to Fangatau in French Polynesia).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 IATA Airport Code Search (FGU: Fangatau) ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Fangatau Airport, French Polynesia (IATA: FGU, ICAO: NTGB) ) 〕 ==History== Begun as a flying club in 1965 by pilot and mechanic John Linn and Ellsworth McKee—son of the founders of the McKee Foods Corporation, the Collegedale Airport was originally a grass strip on a farm. It was purchased by pilot-entrepreneur Aubrey Kinzer in 1969 and turned into a commercial venture with a flight school, rental aircraft, and aircraft maintenance. In 1972, the City of Collegedale obtained the property, and over the years the asphalt paved runway has been extended to 4,700 feet (1400 m) from its nominal 3,500-foot (1150 m) length and widened to 75 feet (23 m) with a parallel taxiway. In 1995, the airport was rededicated and renamed Linn Field in honor of John Linn. Renovations and additions to the terminal, lobby, and Fixed Base Operations (FBO) office were completed in 2003.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Collegedale Municipal Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
