Multimillion-dollar renovation projects are underway at the Scottsdale Airport, adding amenities for pilots and residents alike, including a tribute to the area’s World War II roots.
The site, near Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Scottsdale Road, opened June 22, 1942, as Thunderbird Field II, a training facility for Army Air Corps pilots.
Today, the city-owned airport continues to grow as one of Arizona’s busiest corporate jet facilities with more than 300 flights in and out of the airport daily.
