The Grants-Milan Flight Service Station, at 1116 N. Dale Carnutte Rd. in Grants, New Mexico, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[2]
It was then part of the Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum, which honors early aviation pioneers who flew the Los Angeles-to-Amarillo segment of the Midcontinental Airway.[2]
It is a flight service station that was built in 1953 to serve the Grants-Milan Municipal Airport.
Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum
The Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum is a small aviation museum located at the Grants-Milan airport (KGNT) in Grants, New Mexico. It was dedicated on June 9, 2012.[3]
It commemorates the Los Angeles to Amarillo segment of the Transcontinental Air Transport, an early air mail provider. It consists of two 1929 structures: a 55-foot beacon tower and a small building with a generator. It also has a concrete arrow which helped aviators find the correct direction to continue in.[4][2]
