Elko Regional Airport , formerly Elko Municipal Airport, is an airport located about one mile west of downtown Elko, in Elko County, Nevada.〔 The airport was named J.C. Harris Field in 1975 in honor of Jess C. Harris, a sheriff from Elko known as "The Flying Sheriff".〔(Air Mail Pioneers: Jess C. Harris )〕 == History == On April 6, 1926, when it was called Elko Airport, it was the terminus for the first scheduled air mail run in the United States, flown by Varney Air Lines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nvshpo.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=224&Itemid=9 )〕 United Airlines Boeing 737-200s stopped at Elko from November 1977 until 1982, flying San Francisco - Reno - Elko - Ely - Salt Lake City. This route was United's last piston powered flight, a Douglas DC-6 until 1970. United replaced it with Convair 580s operated by Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) in a subcontract arrangement using the "UA" code.〔North American Official Airline Guide (OAG), February 1, 1976 edition〕 Casino Express Airlines served Elko with Boeing 737-200s and was based in Elko. This airline supported the local casino industry and operated what were essentially scheduled charter flights from Elko to many U.S. cities starting in the late 1980s. Casino Express eventually changed its name to Xtra Airways which later ended these 737 flights from Elko. 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「Elko Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
