Rent a private jet to Wichita, the largest city in the state of Kansas, home to wild west cowboy culture, historical transport and livestock industries, and one of the nation’s largest aviation manufacturing centers.
Wichita is located in the south-central of Kansas where Interstate 35 meets U.S. Route 54, and it’s bisected by the Arkansas River. It’s position in the Midwest makes it a popular hub for business and leisure aviation, located just 160 miles north of Oklahoma City, 180 miles southwest of Kansas City, 300 miles south of Omaha, 365 miles north of Dallas, and 440 miles southeast of Denver.
Starting out as a trading post back in the 1860s, the city was named after the Native Americans who originally lived on the land. The Wichita Town Company attracted hunters, traders, and various business opportunities as the settlement began to expand, and the city was incorporated in 1870. After major railways (Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe) reached the city in 1872, it quickly earned the nickname “Cowtown” due to its popular location for cattle drives originating in Texas looking to connect with east-bound railroads serving the east coast.
Across Arkansas, Delano became a popular cowboy hangout thanks to an array of saloons & brothels, as well as a lack of law enforcement. It gained a reputation for violence until lawmen, including Wyatt Earp, began policing the cowboys. Soon after, the cattle runs had made their way west to Dodge City.
In 1914 and 1915, oil and natural gas deposits were discovered nearby. Refineries, fueling stations, and headquarters began to spring up around the city, and by 1917, it was home to 5 operating refineries, and 7 more by the 1920s. The fortunes of future moguls began here during this period, including Archibald Derby, founder of Derby Oil, and Fred Koch, who created what would go on to become Koch Industries.
Later in the 1920s and 1930s, aeronautical businesses and engineers established manufacturing companies, including Beechcraft, Cessna, and Stearman Aircraft. The city transformed into a hub of domestic aircraft production, and it became known as “The Air Capital of the World”.
Today, it remains a focal point for the American aircraft industry. Several companies continue to design and manufacture planes in Wichita, with facilitates operated by Textron Aviation, Learjet, Airbus and Spirit AeroSystems. The area is also home to McConnell AFB, the only base in the Air Force where all three components, Active Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve, all support the same mission.
As the largest city and an industrial hub of Kansas, Wichita is a center for culture, arts, media, tourism, and trade. The city is home to several museums, theaters, parks, and entertainment venues, along with Kansas’s largest airport, Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.
