Jim Hamilton - L.B. Owens Airport (IATA: CUB, ICAO: KCUB, FAA LID: CUB) is a county-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) south of the central business district of Columbia, in Richland County, South Carolina, United States. In 2008, the airport was renamed in honor of former airport manager Jim Hamilton. It was formerly known as Columbia Owens Downtown Airport. History
Owens Field was the main municipal airport serving Columbia, South Carolina prior to World War II. It was named for Columbia Mayor Lawrence B. Owens, who was one of the most ardent supporters of a municipal airport. On April 24, 1930, the new municipal airport was dedicated. In celebration, an airshow with more than 15,000 people attending saw notable aviators like the President of the Curtiss Flying Service, Casey Jones, Bill Winston (the flying instructor of Charles Lindbergh), and Elliot White Springs.
Eastern Air Transport began passenger and airmail service to Owens Field in 1932. Delta Air Lines began its first scheduled services out of Columbia's new airport in 1934. Just prior to World War II, some Air Corps light observation squadrons flew observation flights from Owens Field, until Columbia Army Air Base opened in 1941. During the war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt landed at Owens Field during a visit to Columbia.
Owens Field remained the commercial airport for Columbia until airline service was relocated to the larger Columbia Metropolitan Airport near Cayce in 1947. Since then Owens Downtown Airport has served the general aviation community of Columbia and the midlands.
