WESTERN NEB. RGNL/WILLIAM B. HEILIG AIRPORT HISTORY

Western Nebraska Regional Airport was established in 1934. The original airport had a hangar, commercial airline connections, air mail service, lighted fields, a weather bureau station, and a record as a pilot training facility .

With the United States entry into World War II Scottsbluff promoted its municipal airport for military/defense purposes. On September 5, 1942 an announcement was made that Scottsbluff was selected as one of seven satellite air bases to be in Nebraska. Twenty-eight farms were vacated so construction could begin at a cost of 5.5 million dollars. The original Scottsbluff Municipal Airport was forced to close to make way for the new airfield; the old airport later became a prisoner of war camp.
