Blythe Army Air Field

Although it was built in 1942 for the Army, the Army never occupied the base. The Air Force took over immediately and made it a training ground for bombers. B-17's and B-24's were a common bomber flying around Blythe back in the day. It's was turned over to the city after the war for a local airport.

Not sure what the array is on the tower but assume is was radio communications.

This huge hanger is showing its age.

There was a gate in front of the steel staircase leading to the roof but it wasn't locked so I could see over most of the airfield. Silly Benji followed me up and scared the crap out of me because had he falling down the steps it would of been a hefty vet bill.
