History
The Airport was first mentioned in 1919, when a Curtiss Biplane stopped in Montello for fuel during the first aerial flight across the desert and Sierra Mountains of California.

Unfortunately, the Nevada Central ran only about every other day on the line between Battle Mountain and Austin. The pilot had landed at Dillon, eighteen miles from Battle Mountain, but luckily spotted a gasoline train coming along the track, waved it down, and hitched a ride to Battle Mountain and back for gas. The pilot resumed his flight, stopping in Montello for fuel before completing the remaining one hour and twenty minute leg to Ogden…. Full Text here
