Kingman Airport, Historical airfield in Mohave County, United States.
Kingman Airport spans 4000 acres with two asphalt runways and an industrial park hosting more than 70 businesses northeast of central Kingman.
The military airfield trained 35,000 aerial gunners between 1942 and 1945, housing over 6,700 personnel during World War II operations.
The training facility selected Bugs Bunny as its official mascot due to the large rabbit population in the surrounding desert area.
The 6,830-foot main runway accommodates commercial aircraft like DC-9 and Boeing 737, with modern communications and electrical transmission infrastructure.
Post-war Storage Depot No. 41 processed 5,500 surplus military aircraft, converting them into 46 million pounds of recycled aluminum.

Around the world, thousands of airplanes, ships, and vehicles reach the end of their service life and are sent to storage or dismantling sites. These locations mark the final destinations of transportation machines: some wait in the Arizona desert where over 4,000 military aircraft are preserved thanks to the dry climate, others are anchored in Suisun Bay in California as strategic reserves, while still others are dismantled at industrial sites in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers recover metal from large commercial ships. Some of these sites have taken unusual forms: in Bangkok, former passenger planes have been converted into homes where residents live; in Alliance, Nebraska, 39 gray cars replicate the exact arrangement of Stonehenge. From Roswell to rusted wrecks in Staten Island and abandoned radioactive vehicles near Chernobyl, these locations tell the comprehensive story of machines that have transported generations of travelers and goods.
