- **Event Name**: Elko Regional Airport 100 Year Air Mail Celebration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 am (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Elko Regional Airport and the community as we celebrate an important milestone in aviation history, the 100th anniversary of the first contracted commercial air mail route in the United States.

On April 6, 1926, a Varney Air Lines aircraft carried United States mail along a pioneering route connecting Pasco, Washington, Boise, Idaho, and Elko, Nevada. When the aircraft arrived in Elko, it marked the successful operation of the first contracted commercial air mail route in the nation. As the destination of that historic flight, Elko became an important link in a new era of aviation and communication.

This special community gathering will recognize the courage and innovation of early aviators who flew across the rugged landscapes of the American West and helped establish the foundation for modern commercial aviation.

Come celebrate 100 years of aviation history, reflect on the legacy of those early pioneers, and recognize Elko’s role in connecting communities across the West.

Coffee and a light breakfast will be served.

All community members, aviation enthusiasts, and local leaders are invited to attend.
