Ashland-Boyd County Airport 1953

The aerial photograph reproduced below,  taken in 1953, shows the Ashland-Boyd County runway under construction.  The Abken buildings and the town of Worthington, KY, can be seen to the right of the upper--eastern--end of the runway.  The Ohio River is to the left. 


This photograph was published in the Huntington, WV, Herald-Dispatch on February 19, 2012, in its "Do You Remember?" column.
 
View more historical photographs from the archives of the Herald-Dispatch in its online Gallery.  Since December 2010, archivists have been scanning boxes of old negatives and posting them online, adding whatever caption information is known.  Readers have been helping to fill in the gaps.
