Schaumburg Regional Airport is a public use airport located northwest of Chicago in the village of Schaumburg in Cook and DuPage counties, Illinois, United States. The airport is owned by the Village of Schaumburg and is just south of the Schaumburg Municipal Helistop. History Beginning 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". In 1946, there were numerous Navy landing fields, but Schaumburg was described as being located at the south east corner of Schaumburg Road and Barrington Road. Roselle Airfield Purchase of land for Roselle Field was started in 1959 in an then-unincorporated area of Cook and DuPage counties. 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. The official opening was delayed until about mid-July. Between June 26, 1961, and May 27, 1963, there were at least five meetings to get Roselle Field annexed into the Village of Roselle. 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. Ace Aviation was owned by Wilbur (Pip) Snyder, who owned an Ace Hardware in Roselle Illinois and was a Piper dealer. Internal to Ace Aviation was Cliff Hutton, the airport manager. 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. The restaurant on top was owned by a postman named Chris Heidt. Schaumburg Airport In December 1963, the Village of Schaumburg annexed Roselle Airport. From 1964 to 1965, the flight schools together had 5 Piper Colts; 5 Beechcraft Bonanzas, including 2 Debonairs and 1 each of the F, P, and S Model Bonanzas; 4 or 5 Beech Muskateers; 3 Cessna Skyhawks; 3 Comanche 250s; 2 Piper Cherokees; 1 Piper Twin Comanche; 1 Comanche 400; 1 Cessna 310; 1 Beech Travel Air; and 1 235 Apache.
