Congressional Airport was a 40-acre airfield, located in what is now Rockville, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C., used for the Civilian Pilot Training Program.
Congressional Airport opened in 1928, intended for commercial flying service and a training school. Harry M. Horton was the head of the corporation, and Lieutenant John H. Tilton was chief pilot and head of flying operations. At the time, the location of the airport was called Halpine, Maryland; the area was later annexed by the City of Rockville. By May 1929, Younger Sales Company advertised that it was flying Heath Super Parasols out of Congressional Airport. That same month, the airport expanded, leasing land from the adjacent farm of Peter Wagner, making it one of the largest airfields in Maryland. An 80-by-120 foot concrete hangar was built in 1929. Flights over Great Falls were advertised for five dollars in July 1929.
