Stanton Airfield
Summary

Carleton Airport has been in operation since 1942, when Carleton College bought a farm to use as an airport to train pilots for World War II. In 1944, the college leased the field to Triangle Aviation, operated by Malcolm and Margaret Manuel, which eventually bought the airport in 1955. In 1990, Stanton Sport Aviation was formed to purchase the airport. The airport was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2007, the airport had 15,000 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 41 per day. At that time there were 47 aircraft based at this airport: 36% single-engine and 64% glider.
