CLOW

In the year 2004, Clow also became home to the Illinois Aviation Museum. This 501(c)3 Non Profit Corporation is manned wholly by volunteers and is currently operating in its temporary home, Hangar One, provided by the Village of Bolingbrook. There, airplane restorations share the facility with its collection of aircraft and aviation-related artifacts, seminars, workshops, special events, and a ground school... What is now Bolingbrook Clow International Airport was built originally in the late 1950's by Oliver Boyd Clow so he could fly his treasured 1948 Model A Navion airplane. This little grassy airstrip with humble beginnings was replaced in the 1970's with a 50- by 3400-foot lighted asphalt runway, and in 1973, became a commercial airport with the name Clow International Airport. Currently, we are an active Airport with a new, relocated 75' wide runway along with many other improvements... We are located in the heart of a thriving community that in 2008, 2010, and again in 2014..
