A Brief History of the Facility
The original Conoco Aviation Facility was built in the 1930s. The facility has been an integral part of the corporate air fleet and used for promotion of the company’s aviation products, especially aviation fuel. Many well-known aviators of the era, such as Laura Ingalls (who set many long distance records) stopped at the Conoco Facility. It was considered the “front door” to the Ponca City complex.
