Fallbrook Community Airpark, also known as Fallbrook Airpark, is a county-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) south of the central business district of Fallbrook, in San Diego County, California, United States.HistoryFallbrook Community Airpark was planned, built and financed by individual volunteer efforts by members of the community. In April 1963 the San Diego Board of Supervisors accepted a deed for the airport land from the U.S. Navy. In October 1963 the Supervisors granted a Special Use Permit about ten months after the State of California had granted the airport permit. In September 1964 construction on the airport was started by the Fallbrook Community Airpark Board. The airfield consisted of a 2,200 foot dirt landing strip and the first operations occurred on October 28, 1964. In 1967, the first 10 metal T-hangars were constructed, and in 1968 a fixed-base operator opened a flying service with pilot instruction, aircraft rental, fuel and other services. The airport was originally operated for the county by a nonprofit citizens group called the Fallbrook Community Air Park. The County resumed management and operation of the airport in November 1997.Facilities and aircraftFallbrook Community Airpark covers an area of 290acre at an elevation of 708 feet (216 m) above mean sea level.
