UTAH IS RICH IN AVIATION HISTORY
The first regularly scheduled overland passenger flight in
the USA was made by Western Air Express on May 23, 1926,
from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. This 50 foot concrete
arrow was one of four here in the St. George area, placed
every 10 miles, for navigation of mail and passenger planes.
The steel posts held coal oil lamps to illuminate the arrows
after dark.
