I know when we left KY they were planning on demolishion and that was 1961. It was a great place to live, and we always saw the planes landing, but they were a whole lot quiter tha they are now. -- Teddy Teddy, The only plans for demolishing was the existing military living quarters around the Bowman Field area. The airport is alive and thriving. It is still a big economic asset to the Louisville and St. Matthew's area. One of my Manual High School sweethearts lived in one of those housing units built for W. W. II military families. The original Administration building still stands on my last visit, as I am a lifetime member of the Aircraft Pilots Club, and did all my training in the late 1960s at KY Aircraft with then owner Mr. Richard Mulloy, another great person who had done so much for the aircraft businesses and promotion of Bowman Field and increasing trained pilots in Louisville, KY. The Bowman Field residential areas surrounding the airfield is still a great place to raise families and live. In the aircraft world Bowman Field is one of the Civil Aviation Jewels in all the United States. JOHN now living at beaches of CA
