Incidents

• On March 31, 1971, a crashed Boeing 720-047B of Western Airlines ( air vehicle registration N3166 ) at the airport. The five crew members who completed a training flight were killed. The cause of the accident was the failure of a support attachment of the hydraulic drive of the rudder due to a combination of stress corrosion cracking and high tensile load, which led to a complete loss of control of the rudder shortly after the start of a go-around maneuver with a simulated engine failure (see also Western Airlines flight 366 ) .

Trivia

• The airport has often been used as a film set, for example for The Best Years of Our Lives and Catch Me If You Can .
