The abandoned Gila River Memorial Airport

This Arizona, USA airport has had more names than I've had hot dinners. Built in 1942 as Williams Auxiliary Army Airfield #5, it was renamed Goodyear Air Force Auxiliary Airfield after the war, then Goodyear Airport, Memorial Airfield and finally Gila River Memorial Airport.

Now it's an aeroplane graveyard after failed plans to turn it into a casino.

I’m concerned that you’ve only ever had four hot dinners. But interesting post, OP
