Hawthorne Municipal Airport Шаблон:Airport codes (also known as Jack Northrop Field) is a public use airport in Hawthorne, California, United States. It is owned by the City of Hawthorne.

History

The name "Jack Northrop Field" comes from the Northrop Aircraft Corporation, founded by Jack Northrop, which for years designed, built and flew many classic airplanes including YB-35 flying wing, the P-61 Black Widow and F-89 Scorpion night fighters, the F-5 Freedom Fighter, and the T-38 Talon jet trainer.[1]

During World War II, the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces Air Technical Service Command as an aircraft modification center and Air Transport Command to ferry new aircraft to operational units.

SpaceX and its spinoff The Boring Company are headquartered at the southeast end of the airport. The Boring Test Tunnel cuts runs just under the fence line at the north-east corner before running under West 120th Street. The Tesla Design Studio is located at the airport as well.[2]

Facilities

The airport covers Шаблон:Convert; its one runway, 7/25, is Шаблон:Convert concrete. It is effectively crammed into a very small space and is surrounded by residential areas on all sides. The airport is also in very close proximity to the considerably larger Los Angeles International Airport, so special consideration must be given attention to avoid encroaching on the LAX airspace.

There is one fixed-base operator (FBO) at the airport, Jet Center Los Angeles, a subsidiary of Advanced Air. There is also one other aviation related business on the airfield, Star Helicopters.[3]
