The Melfort Airport has been named Miller Field in memory of Major Stanley J. Miller RCAF, born in Melfort in 1924 and passing away in Scarborough, Ontario, in September, 2007.

On returning to civilian life he operated an aviation charter company, Melfort Skyways (above photo), in 1948. During the Korean War he rejoined the RCAF and served as an instructor until he retired with the rank of Major, spending 27 years in total in the military.
In his next career, he spent 17 years with Seneca College in Toronto, from which he retired as Chairman, Aviation and Flight Technology. Following his retirement from Seneca, Stan remained active as an instructor, as a pilot of vintage aircraft at air shows, and as a MOT Flight Test Examiner.
