Also, during college football season, we'll occasionally get mainline aircraft in here for team charters. If its for the Huskers, it'll be United or Northwest (usually a B752 for the team, I think), and if its an away team coming into town, it could really be anything. We've seem everything from a Sun Country DC-10, to a Pan Am (Boston-Maine Airways) 727. Also, depending on the bowl game the Huskers are in, we'll also get charter operations for the fans going on, as well. It'll depend on the game, but when the team went to the Rose Bowl in January 2001, we had 2 United B744's here, which was definitely a sight to see. | Also, during college football season, we'll occasionally get mainline aircraft in here for team charters.

Typical fare comprises mainly of Dassault Falcons (usually the various three-holers), but occasionally, we'll get an oddity in here, like a Fokker F-28, and I once saw a Lauda Air 737 here, but with a U.S. registration, and missing its titles. There are also still a number of people who house their GA aircraft here, but with the shutdown of the airport's only flight school, Silverhawk Aviation, piston traffic has been slow. | ||
