On the southern tip of Lake Washington, about 15 miles (24km) as the crow flies from downtown Seattle, is Renton Municipal Airport. Over the years, this venue has witnessed its fair share of aviation history. And there is more to come, if restorer Bob Dempster has his way. There has been an airport on this site since the early 1920s, when it was known as Bryn Mawr Field. Taken over by the USAAF in 1943, it was expanded, and the present one-mile long paved runway was built for B-29A Superfortress bombers that were being assembled by Boeing in its adjacent factory.
