Caldwell Airport Celebrates 50 Years | Boise News

Caldwell Airport turns 50 this weekend, marking five decades of economic impact and community growth — with nearly $3 billion in local benefits and plans to become self-sustaining. As a Foreign-Trade Zone, it’s drawn businesses, created jobs, and slashed customs costs. Its story began in 1969 when pilot Dean Dishman helped secure the site and funding, dedicating 35 years to its success. His daughter Debbie Davis honors his legacy through a detailed scrapbook and urges everyone to appreciate the airport’s history. Celebrate with food, music, helicopter rides, and a look back at 50 years of flight — all day Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
