Flying-M Ranch, Historic ranch and airfield in Lyon County, Nevada.
The Flying-M Ranch spans 7,139 acres between the Wassuk Range and Sweetwater Mountains, featuring open fields and varied terrain for aviation activities.
Hotel magnate Barron Hilton acquired the ranch in the mid-1960s, transforming it into a gathering place for pilots and hosting the Barron Hilton Cup gliding competitions.
The property maintains a collection of twelve operational vintage aircraft in its hangar, representing important pieces of aviation engineering through the decades.
The ranch includes a 5,500-foot runway that accommodates various aircraft types and provides access to exceptional thermal soaring conditions throughout the year.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation purchased the ranch in 2016 for 19.4 million dollars to secure water rights for Walker Lake restoration.
