Operation of Washington-Hoover Airport
The merged and newly named Washington-Hoover Airport was 143 acres (58 ha) in size and roughly square in size. Its dirt runways were partly oiled to reduce dust, and it had no paved runways. It had no drainage system, partial nighttime lighting, no radio for traffic control, and its three hangars were already considered obsolete.
