On October 17, 1929 the Denver Municipal Airport was officially dedicated and opened for business. Three days of festivities marked the occasion. After years of expansion and improvements, the airport was officially renamed Stapleton International Airport. On the cold, forbidding night of February 27, 1995 the last commercial flight departed Stapleton. Nothing remains now but the memories. This site is dedicated to those memories, which were once our world.
I wish to thank the many photographers who have made this site possible by generously allowing their works to be displayed here. Where the name of the photographer is known, credit is cheerfully given.
