In February 2005, the city is hoping its name will be added to the likes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in terms of being a significant name in aviation history, as it has been selected as the launch field for what is being touted as the ‘last great aviation record’; the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer. This is a round the world solo record attempt that will take off and land at Salina without refuelling or stopping.
Industry
Predictably, agriculture is the predominant industry in Salina, and its grain elevators are visible from miles away. This agrarian emphasis is even reflected in a local Catholic Church which is built in white cylindrical shapes intriguingly like grain silos. However, Salina has several other important employers. Surprisingly, the city has a strong manufacturing base. Having over over 2000 workers, Tony’s Pizza is the largest single employer. Tony’s makes makes consumer retail frozen pizzas as well as food intended for school cafeterias and other institutions. Additionally, over 500 are employed in factories for Philips Lighting, Exide Battery, Great Plains Manufacturing (farm equipment), and Raytheon Aircraft. The high ratio of factory experience in the labor pool and Kansas’ right-to-work status make Salina an attractive location for factory operation.
The city has a local daily newspaper, The Salina Journal, several radio stations; 99.9FM KSKG, 910AM KINA, 92.7FM KILS, 95.5FM KQNS, 93.7FM KYEZ, 1150AM KSAL and 104.9FM KZBZ, though no local television news.
