Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport (IATA: MWC, ICAO: KMWC, FAA LID: MWC), known locally as Timmerman Field, is an airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, owned by Milwaukee County. Located 5 mi (8 km) northwest of the city center, it is used mainly for general or private aviation.
The airport was built in 1929 and dedicated on July 6, 1930, one of 25 such projects in U.S. cities by the newly-incorporated airplane manufacturer Curtiss-Wright. The airport was originally known as Curtiss-Wright Field, hence the letters "WC" in its airport codes. In 1945, Curtiss-Wright sold it to Fliteways, Inc., the airport's property manager since 1936. Milwaukee County purchased the airport from Fliteways in July 1947, when it was 131 acres (53 ha) in size. It was host to the Experimental Aircraft Association's earliest Fly-In Conventions from 1953 to 1958. The airport was renamed in July 1959 for Lawrence J. Timmerman (1878–1959), chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors from 1936 to 1959. Current Users
Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport currently serves various general aviation groups. The current fixed base operator is Gran Aire. The airport is home to the Milwaukee chapter of Youth and Aviation, as well as two Civil Air Patrol squadrons; the Timmerman Composite Squadron, and Milwaukee Senior Support Squadron 10. The airport also serves many private and public users.
