Stephenville
Stephenville was formerly home to Ernest Harmon AFB, which was operated by the United States Air Force between 1941-1966.After the base was closed, the facility was turned over to the federal government which then provided it to the provincial government for divestiture to the local community. The facility included the air field, which has 2 runways (10,000 ft x 200 ft, 4,000 ft x 150 ft) and numerous buildings which are operated as the Stephenville Airport. An abandoned USAF Pinetree Line radar site is located on nearby Table Mountain, north of the town. The town uses many former USAF structures for housing, recreation and entertainment.
