DesertUSA Note: In 2006 the Riverside County Economic Development Agency sold the airport, once a part of General Patton's Desert Training Center, to the Chuckwalla Valley Associates, LLC. Part of the deal was that the new owner had to develop the property over time. Read more about Desert Center, and the Chuckwalla Valley Raceway that's been built there.
