Win a Retired Runway Sign

Big changes are underway on the CLT airfield, and now is your chance to own a small part of its past.

As part of CLT Airport’s ongoing runway redesignation project, a retired airfield sign from former Runway 18C-36C is being offered to the public through a special sweepstakes, Runway ReSIGNed.

The sign was removed during the recent redesignation of Runway 18C-36C to Runway 1R-19L, a change made in preparation for the Airport’s future Fourth Parallel Runway. The sweepstakes provides aviation enthusiasts and community members across the Carolinas with a unique opportunity to own a piece of CLT history.

Entries will be accepted through Aug. 11 at 11:59 p.m. One winner will be selected to receive the retired runway sign.

“From the moment we first asked on social media whether we should give away a retired runway sign, it was clear how connected people are to CLT’s history,” said Virginia Lane, CLT Social Media Manager. “We received hundreds of comments from individuals sharing memories tied to specific runways, stories of time spent watching aircraft at CLT and the sign they would choose if given the opportunity.

“This sign represents more than airfield infrastructure, it is a piece of the Airport’s story,” added Lane. “This sweepstakes is an opportunity to celebrate the aviation enthusiasts who help preserve that history. I am especially looking forward to meeting the winner in person, hearing their story and seeing the excitement on their face as they receive a unique piece of CLT history."
