A Beechcraft Bonanza F33A is on late final for runway 21 at Goodyear. From 1946-1968, the airport's primary purpose was the preservation and activation of military aircraft. In 1968, the Navy transferred ownership of the property to the City of Phoenix, and the airport became the Phoenix-Litchfield Municipal Airport. Goodyear Aerospace Corporation, Arizona Division (GAC) began operations in 1942, at which time it was owned by the United States Government and operated by Goodyear Aircraft Corporation.
