Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport (IATA: JVL, ICAO: KJVL, FAA LID: JVL) is a public airport located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southwest of the central business district of Janesville, and north of Beloit in Rock County, Wisconsin, United States. Formerly known as Rock County Airport, it is owned and operated by the Rock County government. The airport has no scheduled commercial passenger service.
Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport is home to the annual "Southern Wisconsin AirFEST", an event that features leading aviation performing groups, such as the Blue Angels, the Thunderbirds, and the Masters of Disaster. History
Several Rock County farms provided land for contract glider pilot training to the United States Army Air Forces in 1942. Training was provided by Morey Airplane Company using 3 turf runway locations in 3 separate Township sections. C-47 Skytrains and Waco CG-4 unpowered Gliders were not used. The production CG-4A gliders were not delivered until after these northern civilian schools were closed. Aircraft furnished by the Army were single engine L type Cessna, Aeronca and Piper. There were no gliders and there was no glider towing. These schools became known as dead stick training. The mission of the school was to train glider pilot students in approaches from various altitudes with the engine off, landing at a mark, night landing and strange field landing. Ground school instruction was in navigation, maintenance, meteorology, instruments, aircraft identification, chemical warfare defense, customs of service and physical training and drill.
These schools were inactivated at the end of 1942 or sooner. The farm fields specifically used in Rock County were turned back to the farmer when the schools were closed. None of this glider pilot training in Rock County occurred at or on the current Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport space.
