Echeverria Field is an abandoned airfield, located approximately 15 miles (24 km) west of Wickenburg, Arizona.

Trainees were given instruction on how to follow a tow plane and fly the unpowered aircraft to the designated landing zone.

With the switchover to powered flight training, the main runway was extended to 4,500' and a satellite airfield was established for emergencies near Aguila, AZ.

The mission of the school was to train the best pilots possible for the USAAF, and this was done with a highly rigorous and demanding course of which many cadets were unable to complete satisfactory.

In addition to pilots, a ground mechanic school was conducted with the same high level of training and demands on the students.
