The history section has a 70 year gap!

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article has a major problem, the history seems to reach 1943 and it jumps ahead 70 years without any info on what happened to Schilling AFB and what types of planes were stationed there in the postwar years. There's a section about solvent contamination and lawsuits, but no context at all. -Rolypolyman (talk) 12:28, 8 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have added some key events up until the closing of the base.

Some other events that could be added:

When did it become Salina Regional Airport (did the old airport on the east side of town move here?)
Current status as Forward Operating Base
Reference connection Smoky Hill Bombing range
Reference Jaded Thunder and other training events that have taken place here

Split Schilling AFB to new article

Latest comment: 5 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to split Schilling AFB from Salina Regional Airport. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

It seems to me that Schilling AFB is a distinct entity, and there is already enough info about it here to warrant its own article, and certainly much more to be added.

But, I have minimal experience editing Wikipedia, so looking for others' thoughts. abcasada (talk) 07:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agree. The whole section of history is mostly Schilling AFB, and it looks like it's the majority of the page.
