Laughlin Heritage Corner: January

Formal dedication of Laughlin’s U-2 display took place Jan. 7, 1984. Laughlin dedicated the U-2 display aircraft we today have on show at the Laughlin air park. This beautiful plane harkens back to the period of 1957-1962 when Strategic Air Command’s 4080th Strategic Wing flew at Laughlin, shaping world history as part of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
