Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport (IATA: TPL, ICAO: KTPL) is a general aviation airport located within city limits, 5 miles NW of central Temple, Texas.
It is owned and operated by the city of Temple, Texas. History
The airport was built in 1942 and opened on 2 July as Temple Army Airfield by the United States Army Air Force. The immediate construction involved runways and airplane hangars, with three concrete runways, several taxiways and a large parking apron and a control tower. Several large hangars were also constructed. Buildings were ultimately utilitarian and quickly assembled. Most base buildings, not meant for long-term use, were constructed of temporary or semi-permanent materials. Although some hangars had steel frames and the occasional brick or tile brick building could be seen, most support buildings sat on concrete foundations but were of frame construction clad in little more than plywood and tarpaper.
Temple AAF was a sub-base of Waco Army Airfield and was used as a basic flying school by the Army Air Forces Flying Training Command, Gulf Training Center (later Central Flying Training Command). Cadets received basic flying indoctrination and training, primarily in North American BT-9s and Stearman PT-17s. Flight training continued until the base was closed on 31 October 1945.
With the end of the war the airfield was determined to be excess by the military and turned over to the local government for civil use.
