Prescott Municipal Airport, Ernest A. Love Field is eight miles north of Prescott, in Yavapai County, Arizona.〔 Love Field is used for general aviation but is served by Great Lakes Airlines, who has a code-share agreement with United and Frontier Airlines, a service subsidized by the federal government's Essential Air Service program at a cost of $2,094,325(per year).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Essential Air Service Reports )〕 Most traffic at PRC is training flights from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University but includes training flights from operations including (Guidance Aviation ) and North-Aire. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems categorized it as a ''non-primary commercial service'' airport. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 5,816 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,〔 〕 11,668 in 2009 and 7,836 in 2010.〔 〕 The City of Prescott announced that passenger totals for 2009 were 11,690. Reaching over 10,000 boardings will allow the airport to get a million dollar grant each year for the next five years for improvement projects. This also prompted Great Lakes Airlines to add a second daily weekday flight to Denver. The first airline flights at Prescott were TWA DC-3s in late 1947. == Namesake == The airport is named for Ernest A. Love (1895–1918), First Lieutenant, United States Army Air Service. Love was born in New Mexico and raised in Prescott. He was a graduate of Prescott High School, and studied mechanical engineering at Stanford. He served in World War I and was shot down near Verdun, France on 16 September 1918, and died of his wounds as a prisoner of war a few days later. Lieutenant Love is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.〔(Ernest A.
