Desert Center Airport

Desert Center Airport (FAA LID: CN64, formerly L64)[2] is a private-use airport located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) northeast of the central business district of Desert Center, in Riverside County, California, United States.

[4] When the training area closed in 1944, the airfield was assigned to the Fourth Air Force, and operational activities decreased greatly.

The airfield remained open, however, and was used by B-24 Liberator crews flying training missions from March Field.

In 1946, following the end of World War II, the airfield was turned over to the Army Corps of Engineers, and the buildings were auctioned off to the public.

It was listed as "Desert Center CAA Site 17" in the "Aerodromes" table on the 1955 San Diego Sectional Aeronautical Chart.

There were no aircraft based at the field, and the Airport Facility Directory data listed a mere 150 takeoffs and landings per year.

Desert Center Airport covers an area of 1,129 acres (457 ha) at an elevation of 559 feet (170 m) above mean sea level.
