Felts Field Sign, Spokane, WA
10" x 10" illustration
Felts Field is a 400+ acre active general aviation relief airport in Spokane, WA.
Its history traces back nearly 100 years with its beginning as a landing field in a park area next to the Spokane River in the Spokane Valley. It is named after James Buell Felts, a Washington Air National Guard pilot who was killed in a crash in 1927. The airport's heritage includes the original site of the Washington Air National Guard. In the 1930's and 1940's, Felts Field served as Spokane's municipal airport with scheduled airline service from the airport terminal. That building, along with others on the airport, is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
This sign, when lit up, gives anyone visiting (by plane, helicopter or by car) a big, friendly salute!
