White Pine County airport reports sharp March increase; flight training credited

White Pine County Airport Advisory Board · April 7, 2026

Summary

Board members said March activity at Yelland Field jumped, with Chair Tim Parish saying flight training accounted for much of the increase; the board reviewed monthly usage figures and discussed tracking and outreach for sustained growth.

Tim Parish, chair of the White Pine County Airport Advisory Board, told members the March usage report showed a notable increase in operations and said, "The numbers for March were incredible. The flight training is a big part of the increase." The monthly usage figures were presented as part of the board's regular usage report.

Board members and staff discussed the role of flight training in the uptick and recommended continued tracking of training-related operations. The usage report that staff presented includes private, commercial, medical and government movement counts for recent months (report details available in the airport packet). The board listed the usage report as a standing agenda item for future meetings to monitor whether the March rise represents a trend or a short-term spike.
