History
During World War II an even bigger grooming field was made some 8 land mile northward of McCook Regional, for the intention of preparation of heavy bomber aircrew. Known, somewhat bewilderingly, as McCook Army Airfield, the ground closed in 1945 and was reassigned to province command and renamed McCook State Airfield. It closed for good in 1969 and since has mostly turn back to farming area. However the former ground's 5 massive World War II-era depots are still clearly seeable from the air.
