Marana Army Air Field Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation Fire Department Marana Army Air Field Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation Fire Department History Courtesy—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinal_Airpark Built in 1942 by the Sundt & Del Webb Construction Companies and opened in March 1943, the facility was known as Marana Army Air Field. During World War II, the airfield was under the command of the 389th Army Air Force Base Unit, AAF West Coast Training Center and used as a training base, as part of the 50,000 Pilot Training Program. Marana conducted basic flight training & the training of transport pilots in instrument flying and navigation, being the home of the 3024th (Pilot School, Basic). Chinese pilots were also trained there. Five satellite air- fields were established for Marana during World War II: The infrastructure installed at Marana during World War II was extensive. This included water, sewer, and gas systems that were still used until some problems developed in the 1990s. There was also a massive storm drain system. The airfield also had a railroad spur line and railroad station. Marana was closed after World War II and in 1948, after the establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an inde- pendent service, Pinal County accepted a deed to the property, subsequent to the Air Force's disposal of most of the buildings, waterlines, gas lines, and electrical lines. From 1948–51, Pinal County leased the property to multiple tenants, and from 1951–56, Marana was reused as a contractor-operated USAF basic flying school, operated by Darr Aeronautical Technical Company. Marana became the headquarters of all Central Intelligence Agency air operations during the Vietnam War years, when it was the primary facility of Intermountain Airlines, a wholly owned CIA "front" company which was used to supply covert operations in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. Intermountain was infamous for its thinly veiled CIA special ops which included development and use of the Fulton Skyhook, but its cover was its non-scheduled freight and maintenance operations. Marana was the principal continental United States maintenance base for Southeast Asia CIA operations including Air America and Continental Air Services. Pinal Airpark is the home of Silverbell Army Heliport (SAHP) and the private companies: Marana Aerospace Solutions, Aircraft Demolition, and Jet Yard. The Western Army National Guard Aviation Training Site (WAATS) and other numerous Army National Guard units are located inside SAHP. WAATS discontinued training of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter at the site in 2012.[4] Pinal Airpark also hosts the US Special Operations Command's Parachute Training and Testing Facility.[5] On 28 March 2013, Navy SEAL Brett Shadle was killed during parachute training here and another SEAL was injured.[6] Since the early 2010s, airport economic development director Jim Petty has opened the facility to the public, giving free tours of the airport and the airplanes stored there.[7] History Courtesy—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinal_Airpark History Courtesy—2019 Google History Courtesy—http://www.airfields-freeman.com/AZ/Airfields_AZ_Tucson_N.htm History Courtesy—https://tucson.com/news/blogs/airmen/photos-marana-air-base-in-s-s-s/collection_56619a5e- 0387-5081-b987-5e098e66d23d.html#2 History Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation Grand Central Aircraft Company modified U.S. Air Force B- Tucson’s version of “Rosie the Riveter.” Women at their B-29 modi- 29 bombers in the three hangars from 1948-1952.

    Appendix C 14 CFR PART 150 REVIEW Appendix C 14 CFR Part 150 Review INVENTORY Ryan Airfield INTRODUCTION The purpose of this review is to provide an assessment for the current Noise Compati- bility Study by reexamining the noise and land use conditions at Ryan Airfield and the surrounding area. The information presented in this section will be used to identify existing and future noise-sensitive areas that may be adversely impacted by aircraft noise and to evaluate the current strategies to mitigate or avoid those impacts. The information in this chapter includes: A discussion of the purpose and procedures required to undertake a Noise Compati- bility Program, as described under Title 14, Part 150 of the Code of Federal Regula- tions (CFR) (formerly referred to as F.A.R. Part 150). A description of airport facilities, airspace, and airport operating procedures. A discussion of the roles and responsibilities for each of the entities impacted by aircraft activity from Ryan Airfield. An overview of the land use planning documents and tools applicable within the area surrounding the airport. The information outlined in this appendix was obtained through on-site inspections, interviews with airport staff, airport tenants, and representatives of Pima County Planning, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and the Federal Avia- C-1 tion Administration (FAA). Information was also obtained from available documents concerning the airport and the Tucson area. This review is being prepared concurrently with the Airport Master Plan Update for Ryan Airfield. This provides ample opportunity for the full assessment of potential noise impacts of alternative master planning strategies.
