Melton Airfield VIC
Melton Airfield in VIC is a small grass strip airfield located approximately 5 km north of the city centre of Melton in the City of Melton.
The airfield is home to the Melton Air Services. It has four hangars and parking for light aircraft, an office and vehicle parking.
The airfield was established by Terry Fogarty Sr and known in the early days as “Fogarty’s Field”. Terry Fogarty Jr. served as a flying instructor there for many years.
The city of Melton is located 45 km north-west of the Melbourne CBD.
Historically Melton was a quiet rural village lying north-west of Melbourne. In the 1970s it became a residential satellite of the city. Today it is a large, sprawling urban centre and its primary appeal for visitors lies in its remarkable indigenous Botanic Gardens (one of the best indigenous plant gardens in Australia), the pleasant walk along Toolern Creek and the interesting historic retreat that is Willows Historic Park.
