Awesome. I wonder what year the airstrip picture was taken, nothing around.

That looks cool ! No island in the run way pic.

There is nothing around, but bush....

Thanks for posting

My guess is those were McCulloch's planes bringing potential residents in for their free trip to the "Oasis in the Desert"

I would guess late 1960's as the McCulloch Airlines looks like it was in full force.

Great pictures. My first cross country solo was MYF-YUM-HII-MYF. The airport was still on the island.

Where would you find these at?? We are planning on replacing most of the horses in our house to a theme more like Old School Havasu / Parker.

CRQ-YUM-HII-CRQ. Long time ago, but after the airport had moved.

I miss the old island airport relics...
