Falcon Field RAF training 1941-1945

by PeterVancouver

Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona was the home of No4 British Flying Training School between 1941-1945 flying Stearmans and Harvards. see http://www.mesaaz.gov/falcon_field/pdf/praised.pdf
All that is left of those days is the swimming pool & BBQ, and a chimney breast which was part of the cadets lounge. A number of ex RAF pilots visit the airfield and an official ceremony was held by the Mayor of Mesa in May 1991. Jim Dawson an American has written a book on Falcon Field

Champlin Fighter Museum which was based at Falcon Field has had its exhibits moved to Seattle to make way for a new Jet Fighter Museum which is due to open in 2005.

Mesa Arizona /Phoenix Area

by queencreekfreak

"Mesa Arizona"

Mesa is one of the "other cities" near Phoenix and Scottsdale. Tons of shopping and restaurants. My favorite place in Mesa of course is the Mesa Swap meet. This is an excellent place for tourists and the best prices on souvenirs in the area.
