2015 Cable Air Faire

 

 

Cable Air Faire 2015 celebrates its 40^th annual event. We are going to dedicate this event to Cable Airport as it celebrates its 70^th anniversary. Put your imagination to work as we go back in time 70 years . . .
The Southern California home front during World War II supported the war effort in many ways, including a wide range of volunteer efforts and submitting to government-managed rationing and price controls. Everyone agreed that the sacrifices were for the national good “for the duration.” Millions of students, retirees, housewives, and unemployed moved into the active labor force. Hours worked increased as leisure activities declined sharply. Most families were allocated only 3 gallons of gasoline a week, which sharply curtailed driving for any purpose. Production of most durable goods, like cars, new housing, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances, was banned until the war ended. In industrial areas housing was in short supply as people doubled up and lived in cramped quarters. Prices and wages were controlled. Americans saved a high portion of their incomes, which led to renewed growth after the war.
During this this time, Dewey and Maude Cable had moved to Southern California from Iowa to be farmers. Dewey’s brother, John, was a pilot. He was considered a barnstormer, flew air mail for the Postal Service and he was a test pilot for Douglas Aircraft. John got Dewey up in the air in the ‘30s and that’s all it took. Dewey fell in love with aviation, and so did Maude. A few years later, 1945 to be exact, Dewey carved out a couple of runways on some open land in what is now known as Upland. The rest is history….
…fellow pilots and aviation enthusiasts…it is our pleasure to invite you to the 70^th anniversary of Cable Airport, the world’s largest family owned and operated public use airport, home to more than 300 aircraft.

 

Come join us for a celebration of days gone by as we take you back to 1945. This year’s air faire will consist of as many “old time” antique planes and cars as possible as we try to recreate the year 1945. If you appreciate the days of the greatest generation, where our country was truly united, when neighbors knew and helped each other out, and this nation proved itself to be the greatest in the world, then we invite you and your family to actively participate in this year’s celebration at Cable Airport.
