History

Origins (1920–48)

Actually, WAE moved to the airport that is the current Nellis Air Force Base. After WW2, the Army wanted the airport to itself, so commercial airlines moved to the current McCarran Airport. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 23:36, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "However, the situation improved by the late 1930s.[4] Western Air Express bought the airfield and established a monopoly on flights to it." --> "However, the situation improved by the late 1930s, allowing Western Air Express to buy the airfield and establish a monopoly on flights to it.[4]"

End of GA Review

[edit]

A very, very good article with very few mistakes. I have been to this airport on six separate occasions so was so glad to see this article up for GA review! (I love airports!!) I will place the article on hold for seven days to allow for changes to be made. Good luck and thanks! Cheers, Carbrera (talk) 02:03, 17 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]

@Carbrera: Thanks! This is my home airport so naturally it has to be a GA :) - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 23:36, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
