Salinas Municipal Airport (IATA: SNS, ICAO: KSNS, FAA LID: SNS) is a city-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Salinas, a city in Monterey County, California, United States. Facilities and aircraft
Salinas Municipal Airport covers 605 acres (245 ha) which contain three asphalt paved runways: 8/26 measuring 6,004 x 150 ft. (1,830 x 46 m), 13/31 at 4,825 x 150 ft. (1,471 x 46 m), and 14/32 at 1,900 x 50 ft. (579 x 15 m). It also has one helipad with a 90 x 90 ft. (27 x 27 m) asphalt/concrete surface.
For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2007, the airport had 77,896 aircraft operations, an average of 213 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi and 1% military. At that time there were 229 aircraft based at this airport: 70% single-engine, 21% multi-engine, 3% jet and 6% helicopter.
History
The airfield was opened in June 1942 during World War II as Salinas Army Air Base (AAB). It was used by the United States Army Air Forces Fourth Air Force as a subpost to Fort Ord during the war. Its mission was that of an incoming personnel processing center and a training field for Army pilots in reconnaissance and observation duties in various aircraft from light observation planes to medium bombers. The Air Transport Command also used the field and had an air freight terminal here for transshipment of cargo.
In January 1944, the Air University Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics (AAFSAT) moved its 481st Night Fighter Operational Training Group from Orlando Army Airbase, Florida to California and assigned its 348th Night Fighter Squadron to the airport. Flying P-70s and A-20 Havoc training fighters, the squadron trained training replacement pilots at the airport until the end of the war in September 1945.
With the end of the war, the base was declared excess to requirements and returned to civil control.
California International Airshow
Salinas Airport is the location of the annual California International Airshow, set at various times from early August to early October. The air show often features top-tier aerobatic teams such as the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, with the proceeds going to local charities.
