The Pangborn Memorial Airport has been around since 1941. It was named after the brave pilots Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon who traveled from Misawa, Japan to Wenatchee. They are very famos because they completed the first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1931.Their epic journey ended 41 hours after they took off.Clyde Pangborn died in 1958 and was laid to rest with military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. I do not know when Hugh Herndon died. All in all, the Pangborn Memorial Airport.
