The Flying DoctorAddress:
602 Renner Field Road
Email Address: director@visitgoodland.com About this Exploration:  When
Marion J. Renner of Goodland made house calls, he took his doctor’s bag
and his pilot’s license. From the 1930s through the 1960s, "The Flying
Doctor” served the remote areas of northwest Kansas, sometimes flying 50
miles each day to check on a heart patient or up to 300 miles for an
emergency at an isolated ranch. For many northwest Kansans in the
mid-twentieth century, Dr. Renner’s flying house calls were often the
difference between life and death.
Butterfly Cafe is just past the Renner display. Enjoy their pies and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. If flying into Renner Field, call ahead on Unicom frequency 122.95. Standing at the terminal entrance is a non-working model of "America's First Patented Helicopter". See a full-size working replica at High Plains Museum. A historic hangar stands at the entrance to the Renner Field terminal's parking lot.Find This Exploration! Get Directions |
