History

Carp was originally a military airfield, and participated in the British Commonwealth Air Training Program during World War II. The outline of the characteristic three-runway triangle is still visible in the shape of the taxiways, however one of the runways has disappeared. Runway 10-28 is asphalt-covered and handles the majority of the traffic.
