Eagle Field (FAA LID: CL01)
Honoring a Legacy in Flight, Shaping the Future of Aviation
A Rich History in American Aviation
Founded in 1942 as a U.S. Army Air Field and primary pilot training school for American pilots, Eagle Field holds a revered place in aviation history. Rooted in the World War II era, it stands as a powerful tribute to the courage and innovation that defined American aviation during the war.
​
Today, Eagle Field is a uniquely equipped aviation and innovation site, spanning over 350 acres. It includes an active runway and more than 70,000 square feet of hangars, workshops, and support infrastructure. Eagle Field carries the legacy forward by hosting fly-ins, serving as a flight testing site, and supporting first responder training and light aviation operations.
Strategic Location
Eagle Field Airport lies at the heart of California, within easy reach of major economic centers
35–40 minutes by air from Silicon Valley and Monterey
Centrally located near Fresno, Sacramento, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles
This makes Eagle Field an ideal launchpad for air taxi services, private aviation, flight testing, and logistics operations in a rapidly evolving air transportation landscape.
A Rare Aviation Asset with National Potential
Located in Central California, Eagle Field is one of the largest privately owned WWII-era airfields in the U.S., spanning 350 contiguous acres. With an active runway and 70,000 square feet of aviation and mixed-use facilities, it offers unmatched space, history, and infrastructure.
From Historic Site to Regional Aviation Hub
We envision transforming Eagle Field into a regional center for advanced manufacturing, aircraft maintenance, flight operations, and workforce development—a future-forward aviation hub that honors its past while building toward national priorities in innovation and infrastructure.
Supported by Fresno County and surrounding communities, Eagle Field is ideally positioned to catalyze regional economic growth and create career pathways.
