Harbour Grace Airport
Harbour Grace Airport (TC LID: CHG2), is 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km; 0.92 mi) west of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
On 20 May 1932 Amelia Earhart set off from Harbour Grace and, after a flight lasting 14 hours 56 minutes, landed in a pasture at Culmore, north of Derry, Northern Ireland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Over the previous five years, most transatlantic flights had included a stop at Harbour Grace. Wiley Post, who with Harold Gatty as navigator made the first circumnavigation of the globe by airplane (eight days) in 1931, wrote:
These transatlantic flights through Harbour Grace are designated as a Canadian National Historic Event.
The airstrip was abandoned after World War II, but was officially re-opened in 1999 following its restoration by the Harbour Grace Historical Society.
