NEBRASKA

Notable airports include North Platte Regional Airport (LBF), which was part of the historic first overnight transcontinental airmail flight. The Postmaster General wanted to prove that airmail could be faster than surface mail if flown around the clock using relay teams instead of being transferred to rail cars for night travel. The North Platte Field was one leg of a test eastbound flight from San Francisco. Three of the four test flights were grounded by bad weather and one fatal crash, but one big De Haviland 4 wire-braced, open-cockpit biplane arrived in North Platte at 7:48 PM on February 22, 1921 to a field lit by burning fuel barrels. Pilot Jack Knight took control and flew the first night airmail flight to Omaha. Because he was the only pilot still flying, he continued on with the help of only a basic compass and a small, torn section of road map all the way to Chicago, where two other pilots were able to complete the flight to New York and make history.
