Kingman Airport (IATA: IGM[2], ICAO: KIGM, FAA LID: IGM) is a city-owned, public-use airport located 9 miles (7.8 nmi; 14 km) northeast of the central business district of Kingman, a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.

After the war, Kingman Airfield served as one of the nation's top reclamation sites for outdated military aircraft.

At that time, the Kingman Army Airfield Historical Society[3] was established; it maintained records and artifacts from the site.

[4] Kingman Airport was built as a World War II United States Army Air Forces training field.

From this point, the former practice gunnery ranges extended northward approximately 31 miles, generally following the Hualapai Valley.

To support the training at the main facility, Yucca Army Airfield operated several emergency landing strips.

After the war the Reconstruction Finance Corporation established five large storage, sales and scrapping centers for Army Air Forces aircraft.

A sixth facility for storing, selling and scrapping Navy and Marine aircraft was located at Clinton, Oklahoma.

Some reports estimated that approximately 10,000 warbirds were flown to Kingman in 1945 and 1946 for storage and sale, but official records indicate that number ended up being closer to 5,500.

38 of the 118 B-32 Dominator Very Heavy (VH) bombers, built by Convair at Fort Worth, Texas, were flown there, including several straight from the assembly line.

Five of Kingman's B-32s had participated in the 312th Bombardment Group's overseas activities in the closing days of World War II.

The only B-17 known to have made it out of Kingman was B-17D #40-3097 named The Swoose, which is currently (as of 2015) under restoration at the U.S. Air Force Museum's Dayton Ohio facility.

Today, large numbers of civilian airliners are stored there and remarketed or recycled into spare parts and into their base metals.

The Kingman Army Airfield Historical Society was established, creating a museum to preserve the field's history with artifacts, photos, and displays.

Soldiers trained by shooting clay pigeons made with coal tar pitch, which contained polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs).

A 2010 site inspection of the former gun training range of about 75 acres showed "soil samples [...] contained PAHs concentrations 1,000 times higher than permitted under 2007 Arizona residential risk-based screening levels and 10,000 times higher than the updated 2012 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency residential risk-based screening levels".

[1] For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2016, the airport had 28,478 aircraft operations, an average of 120 per day: 91% general aviation, 4% scheduled commercial, 4% air taxi, and <1% military.
