Bisbee-Douglas International Airport (134)

Bisbee-Douglas International Airport (134)
Between Bisbee and Douglas is Bisbee-Douglas International Airport! This somewhat preposterous sounding name is not really quite as odd as it might seem. The airport was built early in WW II as a training base for American military bomber pilots, and at one time there was actually commercial service by Apache Airlines from the airport to Tucson and Phoenix. The airport now is very quiet, apparently used infrequently by general aviation. The WW II area hangers remain in relatively good shape and the ones that we could see into appeared to be still used in some way.
