La Junta Municipal Airport

[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.

In March 1944 the Advanced Twin Engine School was re-designated as the 402d Army Air Force Base Unit.

The 50th and 358th Fighter groups were assigned to La Junta in late 1945 (August - November) for inactivation.

La Junta AAF received notice from Second Air Force that it would be inactivated on 28 February 1946, and it was returned to the local government for civil use.
