WELCOME TO OH18! Oh18 (Oh One Eight) is all about local and our goal with this magazine is to promote local businesses and people. We want to instill value, strength and pride in our community, in Chickasha and in surrounding areas. We believe our smaller town has big things to offer and we can't wait to share them all with you. This is the first issue of many more to come. Our publication will feature local shops, restaurants, entertainment hot spots, venues, live music and the list goes on and on. This place, our hometown, it is bursting with local flavor and we are here for it! You may be wondering where the name, Oh18, comes from and it's as rooted in this area as we are. The central hub of our region is Chickasha with the zip code 73018 or seven-three-OH-ONE-EIGHT. This doesn't mean we stop with Chickasha though, we love all of the small towns and cool locations surrounding us so don't feel left out! We'll be coming to highlight you as well. That's it! This is who we are, but you've heard enough about us. Let's get started with our very first issue and hear about all of you, our incredible local businesses, people and organizations! This is Oh18.

Wilson and Bonfils Flying School

A

t the time of World War II, Wilson and Bonfils Flying School took up root in Chickasha, Oklahoma. During the war, cadets trained here in a ten we ek course to become U.S. Army Air Force pilots where approximately 250,000 student pilots graduated. Over 8,000 aviators trained here during the lifespan of the school. In August of 1945, the school closed after four years in action. The facility and fields became what we now know as the Chickasha Municipal Airport. Today, the hangars and concrete slab are all that remains of the school which on ce held a mess hall and classrooms. To learn more about Wilson & Bonfils Flying School or the history of Chickasha, visit the Grady County History Museum located inside The Dixie at 415 W Chickasha Ave.
