San Antonio Stories - Stinson Municipal Airport - Salem Media Group

San Antonio Stories - As heard on Freedom 1160 and 930AM The Answer and voiced by Sonny Melendrez.

The Stinson Municipal is the second oldest airport in America...and it’s not named after one person, but one man and two women...the Stinson siblings. Another San Antonio Story after this.

In 1915 The Stinson family rented 500 acres from the City of San Antonio for just $5 an acre and launched the Stinson School of Flying. The Stinson Siblings were Marjorie, Eddie, and Katherine who was the first woman in the world to perform the loop the loop maneuver.
