Owned by the Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority,[2] it is the largest airport in western Colorado and third largest in the state, behind Denver Intl. (largest in Colorado) and Colorado Springs (2nd largest). The airport opened in 1930 as Grand Junction Municipal Airport. In 1942 it was renamed Walker Field for Walter Walker, a former publisher of The Daily Sentinel newspaper who helped obtain funds and business support for the airport. The airport and the airport authority were renamed on May 15, 2007. Grand Junction Regional Airport The first airliners at Grand Junction were Monarch Douglas DC-3s in 1946-47; successor Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) served Grand Junction until the 1980s. The first jets at Grand Junction were Frontier Boeing 727-100s flying DEN-GJT-SLC and back starting Oct-Nov 1966. Some Frontier 727 flights also provided direct service to and from Kansas City and St. Louis. Boeing 737-200s later replaced Frontier's 727s, and their Convair 580 turboprops remained into the 1980s. In 1975-76 Frontier started weekend only 737 jets to DFW during the ski season. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Junction_Regional_Airport (3/3/16) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Walter Walker DEN board member Walter Walker's memorial webpage has been posted: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Walter_Walker.html I just recently discovered that board member Preston Walker's father served on the Frontier board from it's inception in 1950 until his death in 1956.
