Schilling Air Force Base was an important part of Salina, and when it closed in 1965, the community faced an uncertain future. Join Tim Rogers, executive director of the Salina Airport Authority, as he explores the events surrounding the closure of Schilling Air Force Base and how housing was used for waiting wives. He’ll also discuss the economic impact of Schilling Air Force Base in 1965 and the Salina Regional Airport and Industrial Center 50 years later. This free presentation is offered at the Smoky Hill Museum on Thursday, April 7, from 5:30-6:30p.
