Schaumburg Regional Airport

[1][3] A 1945 navy map of Glenview Naval Air Station and its 15 satellite airfields depicts an L-shaped landing field in Schaumburg with a designation of "SC".

[2] An article dated February 25, 1960 in the Roselle Register mentions that Leonard Boeske would start building the airport by March 25, 1960.

An April 13, 1961 Roselle Register article reads, "work on the airport is 80 percent complete..." and continues "landscaping and sodding will be finished by June 1."

On May 25, 1961, Illinois Safety inspector Dan Smith landed at Roselle Field and certified the showpiece airfield safe for operation.

In 1963, there were two FBOs at Roselle Airfield: Ace Aviation in the old flight office and B&M aircraft/Roselle Beechcraft in the big hangar.

Roselle Beechcraft was owned by Harold (Hal) MaGee (who represented the "M" in B&M, while the "B" was Brunke, who had died) and Richard (Dick) C. Leach.

A Chicago sectional chart dated December 10, 1964 depicts Roselle Airfield west of O’Hare and Northwest of Mitchell Airport.

It was made of brick exterior bearing walls with metal framing in the roof and has a concrete floor.

New hangars, consisting of 33 units, were completed between 2000 and 2001, and a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) was installed.

This is a system of lights that provide pilots vertical guidance to the runway, assisting them in determining whether they are too high, too low, or right on the glide path while attempting to land.

Schaumburg Regional Airport covers an area of 120 acres (49 ha) at an elevation of 801 feet (244 m) above mean sea level.
