Trivia
In the US television series " Jericho - The Attack ", the city of Jericho is probably the main location of the plot instead of WaKeeney. Another indication that the cities matched is that episode 3 speaks of the possibility that a plane crashed near Jericho. That plane was supposed to be diverted to Trego Airfield, which is southwest of the real WaKeeney.
