Celebrating 30 Years of Dedication!

We proudly recognize and express our deepest appreciation to Gordon and Jerald Meisner for an incredible three decades of unwavering service in farming the grounds at Western Nebraska Regional Airport. Their enduring commitment has played a pivotal role in the airport's growth and success. We celebrated their outstanding contributions at our Airport Holiday Party.

 

A heartfelt thank you to Gordon and Jerald for shaping the airport's legacy with dedication and hard work! 

OUR HISTORY

The first landing strips in Scottsbluff are believed to exist since approx. 1928 in a private pasture. Inland Airlines provided air service through Scottsbluff from Cheyenne, WY, to Rapid City, SD, Spearfish, SD, and Pierre, SD, with a Boeing 247 beginning August 1940.

​

On September 1942, an announcement was made that Scottsbluff was selected as one of seven satellite air bases that would be located in Nebraska. Twenty-eight farms were purchased for the new airfield’s construction. Construction began at the new base in September 1942. A temporary railroad spur was occupied as early as October 1942. Initially, Scottsbluff Army Airfield was a satellite to the Casper Wyoming airbase. The first troops arrived December 1942.
