Since 1929, Wichita has been known as the air capital of the world, a monicker given by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce due to the city’s large number of aviation companies that called it home. In 1935, the city’s first air terminal was dedicated and, for a time, was one of the busiest municipal airports in the country. Now an aviation museum, both employees and guests have reported mysterious phenomena and ghostly sightings, none of which can be explained.
The first municipal airport of Wichita was built in the mid-1930s. The Kansas Aviation Museum, or KAM, now inhabits the building and is dedicated to aviation history and restored vintage aircraft.

It is also believed that a yellow crop duster plane on the property is haunted by a pilot who had perished in a crash. There are several ghosts who have made this museum their after-life home and refuse to leave.
