History

Sebring Regional Airport was originally constructed in 1940 as Hendricks Field, a B-17 Flying Fortress crew training base. The field was deactivated on 31 December 1945, as the war ended and the facility was no longer needed to train flight crews.

The field was turned over to the city of Sebring 25 days later, and on 21 February 1946 the city received a permit to operate a civilian airfield on the site. In 1950, the first automobile race was held on the property.

Passenger Service

DayJet formerly flew into Sebring Regional Airport through an on-demand system, providing direct flights to approximately one dozen cities. DayJet suspended operations in 19 September 2008; there is no regularly scheduled passenger service into the airport.
