History
The airport was established by Richard A. Newhouse (original spelling Neuhaus). Among his other aviation-related projects, in 1911 he built a plane of his own design, featuring separate floating ailerons — a major innovation, as the planes of that time used wing warping for roll control.[2]
On March 29, 1985, the airport was purchased by Princeton Aero Corp. Principals of the company are members of the Nierenberg family, previously the fixed base operator at Kupper Airport for eighteen years.[2]
Facilities and aircraft
Princeton Airport covers an area of 100 acres (40 ha) which contains one paved runway (10/28) measuring 3,500 x 75 ft (1,067 x 23 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending January 2, 2005, the airport had 56,958 aircraft operations, an average of 156 per day: 89% general aviation and 11% air taxi. There are 148 aircraft based at this airport: 81% single engine, 11% multi-engine and 7% helicopters.[1]
