History
edit"At one point in the late 1960's, Braniff International, Continental Airlines, Frontier Air Lines and Trans-Texas Airways each had one flight departing from AMA within several minutes of each other just after 6AM. Since there were no jetways at the time, it was quite an experience to watch all four flights preparing for departure simultaneously." Why is this relevant? Airlines overnighted their planes everywhere in the late 1960's (as they do today), not just in Amarillo. Several aircraft boarding and departing at the same time is hardly worth mentioning and adds no informative value to the article. It was "quite an experience"? By who? Again, this is someone's opinion, not a neutral POV. 75.75.91.240 17:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

"This museum lost it's lease with the City of Amarillo and is now located in buildings southeast of the main runway, formally known as Attebury Grain."
- Really? This museum lost it's lease? The main runway was formally known as Attebury Grain? Please, please, stop editing anything on Wikipedia until you learn basic grammar. 173.72.244.194 (talk) 00:19, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Where is the history for the past fifty years? What did the military do with their portion of the field after 1968? A friend who grew up in Amarillo recalls large military planes using the field for touch and goes in the 2000-2005 era, which is what sent me to look at this article in the first place, but that gets no mention. Why was the huge runway built to be so large? Was the B-52 that poor a performer on high density altitude days, or was this an allowance for B-52 student pilots?
