Salina sits where I-70 meets I-135 in the middle of Kansas, which has made it a natural center for manufacturing, distribution and agriculture. Great Plains Manufacturing, part of Kubota, builds farm and landscaping equipment here, and food processing, regional healthcare and wholesale trade all have a strong presence. The former Schilling Air Force Base, now Salina Regional Airport and the Kansas State University Salina aerospace campus, gives the city one of the longest runways in the state, and Steve Fossett launched his record-setting solo flight around the world from here in 2005.

The nearest major airline hubs are a couple of hours away in Wichita and Kansas City, so flying private makes sense for manufacturers, buyers and farmers covering a wide territory. Salina Regional Airport is just southwest of downtown, a few minutes from plants and offices. Visitors come for the Rolling Hills Zoo, the restored Stiefel Theatre and the Smoky Hill River Festival, and Lindsborg, a town that celebrates its Swedish heritage, is just to the south.
