A Brief History of Kyle-Oakley Field
The
need
for an airport for Murray and Calloway County was
apparent to further the growth and progress of the
community.
The Murray Chamber of Commerce knew of the interest
which the Murray Jaycees had in working to obtain an
airport. In the Spring of 1957 the Murray Chamber
approached the Jaycees and offered the assistance and
full cooperation of the Chamber, if the Jaycees would
undertake the airport project.
The Jaycees endorsed the project and a committee was
appointed after approval by the board of directors. A
campaign was established to obtain approval from the
State Department of Aeronautics. Local individuals,
business and all interested parties wrote letters and
made phone calls. The result was an approval to
continue with the project.
The Jaycees held a Radio Auction for the purpose of
raising funds for the Airport Project. With the
success of the auction it was evident that there would
be an airport for Murray and Calloway Co..
On Saturday, October 28, 1961, Governor Bert T. Combs
dedicated the Airport in a ceremony attended by State
and Local Officials as well as many local citizens.
