Geocache Description:

Parking is available on the street near the cache. There may be mugglers at times so use stealth and decoy.

Wichita! The Air Capital of the World! Is it true? There have been 86 different aircraft companies in Kansas and 51 of them have been in Wichita. Some of them built only one aircraft while companies such as Beechcraft/Hawker Beech, Cessna, Boeing and Lear Jet/Bombardier Learjet have built thousands. At one time Wichita built 70% of all civilian aircraft built. They still build a large percentage of all civilian aircraft built. Yes!! It is true!!

The Wichita Airplane Manufacturing Company was located at 715 W. 1st Street. They were in existance here during 1929. They built one aircraft and it's name is not known. The building is gone.

I have had an idea for a series of caches to honor those aircraft companies and some of their suppliers. It has taken awhile to gather all of the information so I have been working on it awhile!! The caches are all located as near as I could get them to one of their locations, as best as I know. Please note that some of the buildings are still there, so look for them and take a picture because they are part of Wichita’s aviation history!! There are no codes to find to find a final as this series may never end, as new aircraft companies are still being formed!! I hope that you will enjoy this series of caches!!

The cache is a little harder to find than a P&G, but not much. The cache is a cammo pill bottle. Please return and secure it as good or better than you have found it.

Congratulations to Lincoln B and hottopic96 for being Co-FTF!!
