History

The first airport in Moberly was started by Clinton Linneman and Leo Hutchinson in 1927. ^[2]

In 1938, a group of men in Moberly interested in aviation formed the Moberly Airport Association, starting the airport (then known as Moberly Municipal Airport).

In 1943, the city council changed the airports name to Omar N. Bradley Airport, calling him "Moberly's favorite son" ^[2]

In early 2007, the airport and the surrounding town of Moberly were hit by a destructive storm, blowing the roofs off hangars. ^[3]

In February of 2019, a leak in one of the hangars gave 3 people carbon monoxide poisoning, injuring 2 and killing one. ^[4]

In June of 2024, the annual Air Race Classic, a transcontinental women's air race, had a stop at the airport. ^[5]
