Crash back in the 50's?[edit]

I was working in Charleston this past week and was discussing Yeager Airport with one of the locals who indicated her uncle had been killed in a plane crash at Yeager some decades back (I think it was in the 1950's) when the flight collided with the side of one of the hills upon which the airport sits. Anyone have any data on this? Hiberniantears (talk) 22:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map Is Wrong[edit]

The map, which shows flights to DTW and LGA, is right beside of a chart that does not list these flights. The chart is right and the map is wrong. --SamC (talk) 17:27, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Yeager Airport[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Yeager Airport's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "transtats.bts.gov":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:51, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I’d like to suggest the name of the article be changed.[edit]

The actual name of Yeager Airport is West Virginia International Yeager Airport and it has been the case for the past two years. I’d suggest renaming the article to the aforementioned “West Virginia International Yeager Airport” and keep “Yeager Airport” as a redirect.

I would probably do it myself but as seen by the IP address at the bottom there; I am not a registered (and definitely not confirmed/autoconfirmed) user (and I don’t plan to be in the immediate future) 2601:5C5:4201:68B0:5D51:D43E:970F:B854 (talk) 17:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
