History

This establishment was created during World War 2 as a flight training facility for the U.S. Navy. After WW2 ended, it was changed into an airport. It is mostly used as a transport facility now. Also, the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a reliever airport for Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.[2]
