History
Opened in October, 1941 as Wilson-Bonifils Field, the airport conducted contract basic flying training for the United States Army Air Forces. The contractor was the Wilson-Bonfils Flying Schools. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. Also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned. The wartime airport had up to six grass runways, with the runways being changed at times.
There may have been four auxiliaries associated with Chickasha - Aux #1, Aux #2, Aux #3 and Aux #4, but unconfirmed and location unknown.
Deactivated on 1 May 1945 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program. The airfield was turned over to civil control at the end of the war though the War Assets Administration (WAA).
Chickasha had scheduled airline flights on Central Airlines DC-3s for a year or two, ending in 1955.
On May 3, 1999, the airport was hit by an F-2 tornado during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak. No one at the airport was killed, but two hangars and several airplanes were damaged, and anairplane wing was found several miles away when the parent supercell dropped its ninth, and most catastrophic, tornado.
