Deer Valley

Phoenix, AZ USA (KDVT / DVT)

Deer Valley Municipal Airport was built in 1960 as a private airfield with a single runway. This simple facility had no control tower and very limited amenities. In 1971, the City of Phoenix purchased the 482 acre site. Operations began inauspiciously, with a temporary air traffic control tower sitting atop a four foot mound of dirt. Locals joked that the mobile unit looked more like a hot dog stand. The aging piece of equipment was actually being used as a hothouse for growing tomatoes before being called back into service for the airport.

While the good folks at Western Aviators are not much at growing tomatoes, nor cooking hot dogs while reading a clearance, they sure do appreciate the foresight to install a tower and prep the airport for the many flights forthcoming for their local air charter solutions in their Citation 500 Jet.

This airport is sponsored by Western Aviators, proudly serving air charter solutions to Arizona, Nevada, Southern California, Utah and New Mexico.
