The airport was originally built
in the 1940's as a location to train pilots for action in World
War II. Over the years, the airport has been maintained and
upgraded largely due to funding provided from the California Aid
to Airports Program (CAAP). Today the airport has 9 permanent
t-hangars, 5 Portable hangars, approximately 30 tie-downs, and
provides aviation fuel sales. The airport is equipped with
runway lights which are designed to be turned on at night by the
pilots as they approach the airport. Further information about
the airport may be obtained by contacting the Shasta County
Department of Public Works at (530) 225-5661.
RUNWAY EXPANSION
The proposed project would
upgrade the airfield design to meet Airport Reference Code (ARC)
B-II standards and would extend the runway to the needed length
of 5,000 feet. A new parallel taxiway would be constructed with
a 240-foot separation from the runway as dictated by the design
standards. The preferred alternative requires realignment of
Reynolds Road at the end of the airport. Most of the existing
aircraft apron, hangars, and other building area facilities on
the easterly side of the airport would be too close to the
upgraded runway and /or realigned taxiway to meet applicable
airport design standards. Therefore they will be relocated.
The Design phase grant was applied fro but has not yet been
awarded. It is dependant upon receipt of approval of the EA
(Environmental Assessment) from the FAA. The EA was filed with
the FAA April 2002. At present the County is developing the
project area by acquiring land adjacent to the airport to allow
for the expansion and increase the protection zones.
