Thirty years ago, Continental Airlines Flight 34 left Stapleton International Airport as the last commercial flight to leave the airport. Overheard in the control tower, the pilot on the plane said, “We will miss this place. A lot of memories.”
Its replacement was an airport set in an area many locals couldn’t find on a map.
“They say it was out in Kansas,” said Stephen Lee, who is the Director of Emergency Management & Communication at Denver International Airport.
