History

By 1929, an airport had been established at Burns.[3] In 1934, the Civil Works Administration awarded $5,000 to build a new airport.[4] In 1942, the City of Burns purchased 680 acres (280 ha) for a new airport.[5] The new airport was built by the Civil Aeronautics Administration at a cost of $570,000, which had two runways of 5,200 feet (1,600 m).[5] During World War II, a squadron of P-38 Lightning were station at the Burns Airport.[5] On January 7, 1981, three Bonneville Power Administration employees died when their airplane crashed as it approached the airport.[6]
