Sequoia Field Airport
United States / Visalia, California
Location ID: #7875
Sequoia Field Airport has hangar space and tie-downs for lease.
Tulare County currently owns and manages two Airports: Harmon Field Airport, near Pixley; and Sequoia Field Airport, north of Visalia.
Of these airports, Sequoia Field is the only one which remains in working condition. Although it has quite a distinguished history, Sequoia Field Airport
has been under-utilized for many years, and has thus seen considerable deterioration of its infrastructure. The north hangar of Sequoia Field is currently
used as storage for fixed aircraft, and its wings, which were historically used for offices, are also being used for storage. The south hangar is occupied by
TBM Inc., a long-time tenant of Sequoia Field and a vital part of the present economy on the Airport. There are three portable T-hangars that are occupied
by fixed aircraft located near the north end of the apron. The runway, taxiway, and apron are all in various conditions, some of which are in need of repair. Numerous WWII era structures still stand. Sequoia Field opened in 1941 as a flight training school.
