COMMENTS
Yuma International Airport/Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS)-Yuma
was originally known as Fly Field and opened in 1928. It was named
for Col. Benjamin Franklin Fly, who negotiated the original lease
for much of the present site from the U.S. Department of Interior
for Yuma County to use as a civilian airfield.
After the start of World War II, the War Department assumed control
of the facility. Over the next few years, many combat aviators were
trained at what was then called the Yuma Army Airfield. At the end
of World War II, the military field was deactivated and control
reverted to Yuma County. During the Korean War, the Air Force reactivated
it as a military airfield, and it later became known as Vincent
Air Force Base. In 1956, the land was divided into two areas. A
joint-use patent granted to Yuma County the area that is now the
civil portion of Yuma International Airport. The remainder, including
all runways, and taxiways, continued under military control, and
in 1959 became the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS). The joint- use
aspect of the airport continues to be its most distinctive feature
today. In December 1965, the Yuma County Airport Authority (YCAA)
was established to administer Yuma International Airport. |
