North Perry Airport

North Perry Airport (IATA: HWO, ICAO: KHWO, FAA LID: HWO) is a public airport in the City of Pembroke Pines, 5 miles (8 km) west of the central business district of Hollywood, in Broward County, Florida, United States.

In 1943, Henry D. Perry, a dairy farmer, sold 640 acres (259 ha) of land to the United States Navy for a flight training field between Hollywood Boulevard and Pembroke Road.

It became known as North Perry Field, and functioned as an auxiliary training facility for the main naval air station known as NAS Miami, the present day Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

It was then upgraded for use by small aircraft, as a station for advertising blimps, and as an auxiliary use field for United States Coast Guard helicopters practicing search and rescue skills.

AASF North Perry hosted the 347th Medical Detachment (RA) of the Army Reserve, an air ambulance unit flying the UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, also known as the "Huey."
