Message to Donors
Since 2023, the Willows-Glenn County Airport has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Its rich aviation history began in 1928 with construction of a Lighted Tower Beacon. During the early days of World War II, the Doolittle Raiders used Runway 13/31 for practice. And, in the fall of 1956, it was the base of the first air tanker firefighting squadron.
Today, the Lighted Beacon Tower is still operational while needing rehabilitation and secure fencing — a project supported by the Friends of the Willows-Glenn County Airport.
Fund Purpose
The fund purpose is to assist in the establishment of Friends of the Willows-Glenn County Airport as a nonprofit legal entity within California and as a 501(c)(3) under the code.
The nonprofit shall support projects that preserve, protect and maintain the historic features of and promote the Willows-Glenn County Airport.
