Air Force origins
Planeview has a remarkable, if comical, backstory to its name. In 1942, during World War II, Planeview and neighboring Beechwood were developed to house defense contractors working at McConnell Air Force Base. This perhaps influenced the developers’ decision to spell the town’s name like the aircraft commonly observed at the nearby base rather than as a reference to the American heartland’s rolling plains. Planeview’s mid-20th century housing, composed primarily of ranch-style homes, continues to house hundreds of residents, while the airbase continues to serve in its historical functions.
