WICHITA MID CONTINENT AIRPORT HISTORY
Kansas City Industrial Airport was built after the Great Flood of 1951 destroyed the facilities of both of Kansas City’s hometown airlines Mid-Continent Airlines and TWA at Fairfax Airport across the Missouri River from the city’s main Kansas City Municipal Airport (which was not as badly damaged). TWA’s main overhaul base was a former B-25 bomber factory at Fairfax, although TWA commercial flights flew out of the main downtown airport.
