The airport has been owned and operated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Royal_Newcastle_Aero_Club&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\" target=\"_blank\">Royal Newcastle Aero Club<\/a> since 1963 and shares a large training area with the nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cessnock_Airport\" target=\"_blank\">Cessnock Airport<\/a>. Throughout its history, the airport has played host to many airshows, races and flying competitions. The field is named for the fifth President of the Royal Newcastle Aero Club, Robert Russell, who suffered a fatal heart attack while on the premises in 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/maitlandrunways.png\" alt=\"Runway layout of Maitland Airport NSW.
