History

Established in 1962, the airport was intended to promote land development.[1] The runway was built as part of the original development of the town and dedicated in 1985. A recent $500,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration widened, paved, and lit the mile-long airstrip.

gollark: If your FTL drives are very cheap, and you can have it fly back somehow, and you have high density heat storage, I can see it possibly being a good way to dispose of waste heat.
gollark: Well, that's a bad use.
gollark: I mean, I guess it might work in that if a heatsink is far away from combat it can use better but more fragile radiators.
gollark: This seems somehow a bad idea...
gollark: And make them arbitrary-wavelength mirrors.
