Flabob Airport Education through Aviation! Welcome to the Flabob Airport page! This airport is “Taking Aviation to new heights!”
(325)

Flabob is an airport rooted in deep tradition of good old fashion Aviation Enthusiasts looking to share their love of the sport to others. In 1998, Tom Wathen created a non-profit foundation to encourage the study of science, math, technology and civic responsibility. “His dream was to use aviation education as a springboard of instruction and to nurture an appreciation for the tradition and future of general aviation.” The Foundation took on the catch phrase, “Education through Aviation!” In 2000, the Thomas Wathen Foundation purchased the 82-acre airport, saving it at the 11th hour from commercial real estate developers. Flabob Airport is not only used as an airport, but is used to build character in young adults.
