The DC-3 propelled aviation as a viable means of travel. Service was available to cities and towns across the nation. Unlike today early air travel was convenient and uncomplicated.
Westward expansion was made possible by railroads. Before the railroads people traveled by horse and covered wagon. The iron horse allowed people to reach unsettled lands where new communities were created. Feight and commodities were the primary interest of the railroads, but it took people to produce goods and commodities.
Personal travel by jet is possible for those who can afford it to almost anywhere in the country. Businesses looking to expand consider the availability of a local airport essential.
