93 years ago this week, Lincoln city commissioners chose the 160-acre plot of land known as the “Flader Tract” as the site for the Lincoln Municipal Airport.
On the morning of Wednesday, July 25, 1928, city commissioners approved the mayor’s motion to locate the Lincoln Municipal Airport along the SYA Highway just northwest of town.
A few important variables factored into the Flader Tract being chosen.
First, as one newspaper reported at the time, the area was described as “almost as level as a floor.” Therefore, the land needed little development in order to safely host aviation activity.
Second, the site was relatively inexpensive per acre compared to the other sites around Lincoln that were considered.
Third, the site’s short distance from the post office on 10th street was an advantage because the airport would eventually take over airmail responsibilities.
Construction on the terminal building commenced soon thereafter (see image below) and the airport was officially dedicated in June 1930.
Although old buildings have been removed and new ones constructed, the Lincoln Airport has essentially been on the “Flader Tract” for nearly 100 years.
