"The Airport That's Closest to Town"....

Post by GRID »

This should be very interesting to anybody interested in KC's aviation history,  start on page 43.

I find it interesting that they say that Reagon can't be used for jet travel, jets take off from there about every 15 seconds haha.

Very interesting. Does make me wish MKC was still used for commercial flights. How convenient would that be? And given the high number of relatively small regional jets flying around these days, it's not like there'd be a bunch of even 737-sized air traffic. Lots of Embraers and Canadairs. MKC would be perfect for that.
