Stillwater Regional Airport (Searcy Field) is in Payne County, Oklahoma, three miles northwest of Stillwater, which owns it.〔 == History == After World War II the airfield was one of six locations in the nation that stored surplus bombers, fighters, trainers, and transports. About 475 aircraft were flown to the airport starting in 1945. In 1946 Paul Mantz bought them all, keeping 12 for use as stunt planes and camera ships, and selling the rest for scrap.〔(FAA Inspector Sees Stories in Old Planes ) Ponca City News, accessed 30 December 2010〕 One of the aircraft processed through Stillwater - and purchased by Mantz - was B-17 41-24577 "Hells Angels," which was the first B-17 to complete 25 missions (even before the Memphis Belle).〔() Aerovintage.com, accessed 30 December 2010〕 Central DC-3s landed at Stillwater starting in 1953; successor Frontier pulled out in 1975-76. Stillwater was home to an Essential Air Service airline named Exec Express,Inc.. It operated Piper PA-31 Navajos. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stillwater Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
