The city of Wilmington, North Carolina is one of the fastest growing cities on the East Coast, so it’s no surprise that Wilmington International Airport, also known as New Hanover County International Airport, is also growing fast. The history of the airport actually dates back to 1928 when it opened as Bluethenthal Field in honor of an accomplished World War I pilot from North Carolina who gave his life for his country. Wilmington Airport is also unique in that it was designated as one of the few emergency landing sites for the Space Shuttle, and although it was never actually used for that purpose the airport still can boast of having a runway that is more than 8,000 feet long, which comes out to more than 1 1/2 miles.
