Mitchell Airfield QLD
Mitchell Airfield in QLD is a small, remote airfield servicing the local community.
From the 1950’s when passenger air travel was taking off in Queensland, Mitchell Airfield was serviced regularly by planes including TAA. As passenger aircraft got larger these services moved to the bigger surrounding airports of Roma & Charleville. However the Shire maintained the airport for the use by Royal Flying Doctor Service and small private planes.
Small towns and communities such as Mitchell rely heavily on their small airfields to provide a life line to many services not readily available locally. The Royal Flying Doctor Service and fire fighting are two such services.
The town of Mitchell is situated on the banks on the Maranoa River. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, tourism, primary production such as cattle, sheep, cypress pine milling and a quarry with crops grown in the eastern part of the area.
