The town of Bedford has had an airport at four different locations from 1934 until the present. The earliest airport in the Bedford area was constructed around 1934 approximately 0.75 miles northeast of the town of Bedford and parallel to U.S. Highway 30. It closed at some point between 1935 – 1937. The next airport location was in Cessna, 2 miles north of the town of Bedford. This airport closed sometime between 1965 – 1968. The current Wal-Mart Distribution Center is located on the site of the second Bedford Airport. The third location, named the Bedford-Wiedman Airport, was operated by Blair – Bedford Airways. The third location of the airport was built next to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, where the landing strip was literally on the side of a mountain. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 1989 for the fourth, and current, location of the Bedford Airport. It has a 5,005’ x 75’ paved runway.
