AL HR200

Recognizes the Wetumpka Municipal Airport's listing in the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage by the Alabama Historical Commission.

Notes the airport's historical significance as Elmore Auxiliary Training Field No. 2, established in 1942 on 320 acres to support World War II pilot training in conjunction with Gunter Army Airfield.

Highlights that the facility was one of seven auxiliary fields serving Gunter Airfield and is the only one still in operation, with notable alumni including World War II Aces First Lieutenant Henry Smith Rudolph and First Lieutenant Hoyt Arnold Eason.

Documents that the federal government sold the land to the City of Wetumpka for one dollar following the war, and the airport currently operates as a general aviation facility based for approximately 100 planes.

Directs that a copy of the resolution be provided to the airport for display as official recognition of this historic designation.
