; #2 at coord|32|36|19|N|112|52|41|W|type:airport, and #3 at coord|32|39|38|N|112|52|14|W|type:airport. Although abandoned since the war, all of these fields are easily visible from the air.

At the end of the war the airfield was determined to be excess by the military and turned over to the local government for civil use. Of the three original runways, only one is serviceable and still in use. Most of the buildings on the airfield were sold off, removed or broken up. Abandoned streets and taxiways are being eroded away by sands, tumbleweeds and time. [Thole, Lou (1999), Forgotten Fields of America : World War II Bases and Training, Then and Now - Vol. 2.
