History

San Jose Airport was originally an American air facility which operated in the latter years of World War II. The airstrip was formerly named after World War II 5th Air Force ace Major Thomas McGuire. [2] Consolidated B-24 Liberators were stationed in the facility. [3]

After the war, the air facility was abandoned by American forces, [4] the national government renovated the air facility and was inaugurated years later in 1951 by then President Elpidio Quirino. [3] The national government later built a concrete road from the town center to the airport as well as converted the wooden bridge over the Pandurucan River into a concrete bridge. [4]

The airport underwent a rehabilitation sometime around 2013. [5]
