History

The airport was opened in May 1944. [3]

In 1992, the airport received federal funding to extend and rehabilitate their runway, as well as install a visual approach system. [4] A fence, to keep both wildlife and unauthorized people out of the airport grounds, was funded in 2007.[5]

gollark: Yep!
gollark: "Economy" means "any sort of system which coordinates production/allocates resources".
gollark: Now, part of that is probably that you can't really trust whoever is asking to use those resources properly, and that's fair. But there are now things for comparing the effectiveness of different charities and whatnot.
gollark: But if you ask "hey, random person, would you be willing to give up some amount of money/resources/etc to stop people dying of malaria", people will just mostly say no.
gollark: If you *ask* someone "hey, random person, would you like people in Africa to not die of malaria", they will obviously say yes. Abstractly speaking, people don't want people elsewhere to die of malaria.
