Cool Spot For A Photo

I drive past this place all the time and finally pulled in for a photo op. It used to be a hanger at an airstrip used by crop dusters here in the Phoenix area. As you can see in the background a housing subdivision has taken over the site as has happened to a lot of the farmland in the area. I figured l'd get pictures before it becomes a bunch of cookie cutter homes.

 

Cool photos.....
Doesn't look like it's going to be a 'hanger' much longer..........

 

Probably not Krash. 3 months ago it was a complete building. Little by little it's being scavenged for building material it seems.

 

Looking at Google Earth, I found an old airstrip on the west side, in Surprise, Az. Runways / taxiways in sort of a triangular shape. Now in the process of being developed, including a new Surprise, Az. City Hall. This might not be where your old hanger is though. Couldn't find it there.

 

This would've been in Litchfield Park. In fact the subdivision built on it is called "The Landings"

 

very cool spot/photo indeed!

 

Was still in use, late 2021, per street view. (On Camelback Rd., correct?)

 

Yup that's the place. Was still being used until recently but not for airplanes. Houses had already been built on the airstrip. I hear now they are using GPS and treating the farm fields on the ground instead of using aircraft.

 

That is indeed a cool spot. Great photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.
