History:
In 1942, the US Army Air Force constructed the Western Nebraska Regional Airport spending a staggering amount of 5.5 million dollars. The replacement value is considered to be around 125 million in the present day. The base was one of the eleven US Army Air Force training base in Nebraska during the Second World War. Construction began with the evacuation of 28 farms at a go. There were hundreds of mess halls, office quarters, hangars, barracks and bomb sight storage buildings constructed within the base. The airfield closed in 1945, when the war department handed over the airport authority over to the City of ScottsBluff. With the construction of the new terminal building in 2003, there has been remarkable improvement in the all round performance of the Airport.
