In the 1920s and 30s, the region attracted many of the famous aviators of the day, including Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, Jean Batten and Arthur Butler.<br>But it was not until World War II, when the airfield was developed by the military, that it began to resemble the modern-day facility. It was used as part of the Empire Training Scheme and hosted the No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School from 1940-44 and the No.8 Operational Training Unit RAAF from 1942-44. In 1945, it briefly hosted an RAF squadron of de Havilland Mosquito bombers set up for anti-shipping attacks in the Pacific as well as fighters from the No. 93 Squadron RAAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post-war years saw the airfield used as a bad-weather alternate for Sydney\u2019s Mascot airport and as a Qantas training facility.<br>Lockheed Super Constellations became a regular sight in Narromine in the 1950s as Qantas conducted pilot check and training flights.\u00a0 The airline\u2019s Hawker Siddley HS-125s would still be using the airfield in the early 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A century after it all began, Narromine Airport is still steeped in aviation, with its long-lived aero club now complemented by a world-renowned gliding club. It celebrates its history with an aviation museum featuring a Wright Flyer replica that attracted a 2005 visit from Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, as well as a fully-restored 1938 Corben Super Ace kit plane and an original 1953 Hawkridge Venture glider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"522\" height=\"566\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo.png\" alt=\"Country Airstrips Australia Narromine runway info\n\" class=\"wp-image-1028 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo.png 522w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo-277x300.png 277w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 522px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 522\/566;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"522\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo.png\" alt=\"Country Airstrips Australia Narromine runway info\n\" class=\"wp-image-1028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo.png 522w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/NarromineNSWrunwayinfo-277x300.png 277w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Elevation<\/strong><br>782<\/td><td><strong>Area Forecast<\/strong><br>22<\/td><td><strong>Strip Direction<\/strong><br>  04  \/  22  :  11  \/   29<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPS Position<\/strong><br>-32\u00b0 1252  South<br>148\u00b0 1329<\/td><td><strong>ALA Code<\/strong><br>YNRM<\/td><td><strong>Strip Length<\/strong><br>      1100     :    1521<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>WAC Chart<\/strong><br>3456, 3457<\/td><td><strong>FIA<\/strong><br>Melbourne Centre<br>123.9  Circuit area<\/td><td><strong>Strip Surface<\/strong><br>  Both RWY sealed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Owner\/Operator<\/strong><br>Narromine Shire<br>(02) 6889 9999<br><strong>ARO<\/strong>  0408 852 931<\/td><td><strong>Windsock<\/strong><br><strong>1<\/strong> &#8211; Midway between <br>04\/29 and S side of TWY C<br>1 &#8211;  N of RWY 22 THR<\/td><td><strong>ASIC Security\/Vis Vest<\/strong><br>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel<\/strong><br>AVGAS H24 Inland Petroleum<br>0428 607 372 or<br>0417 260 031<\/td><td><strong>Distance to Town<\/strong><br>1 NM<\/td><td><strong>Lighting<\/strong><br>11\/29  PAL  122.4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aircraft Parking<\/strong><br> Yes<\/td><td><strong>Transport<\/strong><br>Closest taxi is at Dubbo<br>Country Car Hire<br>1300 668 779<\/td><td><strong>Landing Fees<\/strong><br>Nil<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>Special Procedures and Comments:<\/strong>  CTAF  126.7<br>Gliders operate common circuits from strips alongside both RWS.<br>Simultaneous OPS not permitted.<br>Glider strips marked by orange gables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-pale-blue-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Nearest Town<\/strong><\/td><td> <strong>Attractions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Dining<\/strong>               <\/td><td><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/narromine-new-south-wales\/\">Narromine<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/attractions-in-narromine\/\">Attractions in Narromine<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/dining-in-narromine\/\">Dining in Narromine<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/accommodation-in-narromine\/\">Accommodation in Narromine<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[118],"list-tags":[],"location":[112],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Narromine Airport New South Wales | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Narromine Airport in New South Wales is a small airport near Narromine.
