## Description

US-287 pays Childress's bills: the truck route linking Amarillo with Fort Worth runs straight through town, carrying cattle, cotton and everything the Panhandle produces. The municipal airport, a World War II bombardier training field in a former life, now hosts general aviation and crop dusters only. There is no scheduled service and no air cargo handling; freight simply joins the trucks rolling down the highway towards the Dallas hubs. A quiet strip where the wartime runways outlast the noise.
