Cheyenne Jerry Olsen Airport - KCYS
IIRC, our airport started as a dirt airstrip in 1911, it became paved in the early 1920's. in the 1920's-1940's, Cheyenne's aviation was in its hayday. because of our strategic location, we were a major airport. We had DC-3's all over the place, connecting cities like Denver, Chicago, LA, New York, Omaha, etc. We were also a major stop on the airmail route. At this time, it is recorded that the Cheyenne, WY airport was the busiest airport in the nation. During WWII, Cheyenne also played a major role. B-17's were sent directly here to be finished and get fit to be sent off to the war in Europe and in the Pacific. The tail turret on B-17's is alternatively known as the "Cheyenne turret" because it was basically invented here (the old Boeing hangar that the B-17s were finished in still stands today as well as many of the other airport buildings. Our airport has been the home of the Wyoming Air National guard, all the way from when they operated F-51's (P-51's that were renamed to the F- designation) to the modern day where they currently operate C-130 aircraft.
Because our airport is nearly 90 years old, it has remained in its same location and the city has grown around it, literally leaving the airport in the middle of the city.
In the past, Cheyenne has had been serviced by DC-3's, DC-4's, DC-8's, 707's, 727's, 737's, etc. but sadly now is only serviced by B1900D and EMB-120 aircraft daily to Denver due to the fact we are only a short 2 hour drive away from Denver International Airport.
The largest plane to have landed at Cheyenne Jerry Olsen Airport is the AN-124 Russian cargo plane, but the airport has landed C-5 Cargo planes, C-17 Cargo planes, Boeing 777 airliners, Boeing 737/757's, Airbus 320 family, etc.
Every year for Frontier Days, the airport hosts an Airshow. This is the only airshow to feature the USAF Thunderbirds every single year, and Cheyenne is where the Thunderbirds debuted, making their first public show at Cheyenne.
Our airport in a nutshell, there is a ton more I could say but I'm too lazy

Built in 1952 on Governador Island, approximately twenty kilometres from the city center, by 1970 the airport was Brazil's major air-hub. In that year, its administration was assumed by Infraero, an agency recently created by the Brazilian government. In 1977, at which time it was receiving all of Brazil's major international flights, the airport underwent a major renovation. For passengers bound for São Paulo, Brazil's main domestic hub, then served only by the smaller Congonhas-São Paulo International Airport, this meant taking at least one connecting flight — two connecting flights if their destination was anywhere else in the country.
In 1985 the airport lost the title of the country's major international airport to São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport, due to a drop in passengers to/from abroad. Nevertheless, Infraero built a second terminal on the site at a cost of US$600 million, which is capable of handling 7.5 million passengers annually, more than doubling the airport's capacity. Until 2004, passenger numbers had been stable at about 4.5 million per year, but this number has subsequently increased. In 2006, Galeão International Airport handled nearly 9 million passengers.
Galeão was Infraero's second-most idle and money-losing airport (after Confins International Airport), and was considered by many to be a waste of resources. At the time the new terminal was opened, Guarulhos was overloaded, operating at 102% of capacity, against 24% for Galeão. Infraero was criticized for not investing resources appropriately. However, since late 2004, most flights from the overloaded downtown Rio airport Santos Dumont Regional Airport were reassigned to Galeão, and it currently uses 57% of its capacity. The 10 million passengers mark is expected to be achieved in 2008.
The airport is also a second international hub for Varig.
