McCarran International Airport
60 years McCarran International Airport has been serving Las Vegas. Named after Pat McCarran a long time politican , you can read about Pat McCarran here McCarran started with 4 airlines and twelve flights a day Bonanza, TWA, Western, and United. Of those airlines only United remains.
The nation’s sixth-busiest airport has certainly come a long way since 1948, the year Clark County purchased the property east of Las Vegas Boulevard that local aviation pioneer George Crockett had used for his smaller Alamo Airport. McCarran Field was dedicated on Dec. 19, 1948, and aviation in Southern Nevada has grown steadily ever since.
There will be different celebrations through out the year and I will take pictures and let you know what is going on.
