  • Horace Williams Airport (originally Martindale Field) is a public airport located one mile (1.6 km) north of Chapel Hill, a city in Orange County, North Carolina, United States. The airport is owned by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and named for Prof. Horace Williams, Chair of Mental and Moral Science (Philosophy) at the University during the first half the twentieth century. It is mostly used for general aviation with a small amount of air taxi service and military usage. The airport was part of a large gift of land to the university by professor Horace Williams in the 1930s, and while the professor did not restrict the use of the property to airport use, it has been an airport since 1933. Presidents Ford and George H. Bush received Navy primary flight training at the airport. President Kennedy visited UNC in October, 1961 and arrived and departed via Horace Williams Airport. Horace Williams Airport is home to North Carolina's Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program, which flies doctors and medical specialists participating in instructional and outreach programs, serving outlying communities in under-served areas of the state. In addition, some private flights also help bring distant patients to the UNC Hospitals, as well as occasionally serving as rapid air link with hospital helicoper service for time-critical organ transplants.
