Quincy Municipal Airport (2J9) is a general aviation (GA) airport located approximately 20 miles northwest of Tallahassee in Gadsden County.
The airport has one asphalt runway (Runway 14-32) measuring 2,974 feet long by 75 feet wide with displaced thresholds on both ends. 2J9 most commonly supports recreational flying conducted by local and transient pilots. In 2023, a new perimeter taxiway was constructed at the airport to provide improved access to the airport facilities (e.g., GA terminal building, self-fueling, and T-hangars) and to eliminate the need for back-taxiing on the runway. Pilots can purchase 100LL fuel, rest in the onsite GA terminal building, or visit nearby restaurants and attractions, such as the Gadsden Arts Center & Museum. The airport has several tenants and maintains an active hangar waiting list, as aircraft storage for based aircraft is in high demand.
Several small businesses operate out of Quincy Municipal Airport’s hangars, such as several flight instructors and aviation mechanics. The airport is operated by a board that is actively engaged with ongoing airport operations as well as near- and long-term development plans. The local government understands the Quincy Municipal Airport’s role as an important asset in the community and proactively markets the facility to potential new businesses considering locating in the area.
William Merrill Corry, Jr.
The Corry Family came to Quincy in the 1880s from New York when William Corry Sr. arrived to managed the Owl Commercial Company. Tragically, his son, William Merrill Corry, Jr., an acclaimed WWI aviator, died heroically trying to save the pilot of a crashed plane in which he had been a passenger. Quincy's Corry Field, (3) navy ships and (3) airfields in Pensacola were named in his honor. William Merrill Corry, Jr. is buried in Quincy's Eastern Cemetery.
