In December 2015 and July 2016, I visited Wichita KS for the purpose of writing an article about “Doc”, the B-29 that underwent an impressive restoration at McConnell AFB. While I was there, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Wichita (ICT) is also quite an interesting airport, and photo access was mighty good. ICT is a bit off the beaten path, but, in my opinion, well worth the effort. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that Bombardier used Wichita as a test facility for its then-new C-Series.

After staking out a spot near the runway for photography when I first visited Wichita in December 2015, this was the first plane that landed! Imagine my surprise!
