Sweetwater Dam Naval Outlying Landing Field

The runway, built in 1944, was located in what is now a neighborhood, eight miles east of San Diego, California.

The Navy leased 135.45 acres of grassland from Rancho de la Nación to complete the airfield; it had a single 3,000-foot east/west asphalt runway.

The Carlsbad, California's Oilers Club helped start the drag strip with the first meet on March 11, 1951.

Houses were built on the site, now called Paradise Hills; no trace of the runway can be found today.

Today, part of the site is also Daniel Boone Elementary School.
