Southern California Logistics Airport
|
|
| This is an interesting airport, emerging from the remains of George Air Force Base, which was closed down in 1992. Much of the former base is abandoned and in a state of slow decay, but as many of the buildings were constructed during the 1970's and early 1980's, they are still in good condition. The city of Victorville is developing the base as the Southern California Logistics Airport, and some local businesses have begun moving in. The runway area is used for aircraft storage by major airlines, as at Mojave Airport. Before being slated for closure in 1988, it was home to a tactical fighter wing, and employed around 5,000 people. A new federal prison was built in 2000 across the street from the main entrance. |
