San Joaquin Helicopters Heliport

The 'closure' pertains only to the US-10359 identifier, not the physical site. This is a result of administrative database updates within the FAA and third-party data providers. The heliport was likely re-registered or has always operated under its official, current FAA Location Identifier (LID), which is CL61. The change was not due to economic reasons, accidents, or conversion of the property.

The heliport is fully operational and serves as the active headquarters for San Joaquin Helicopters, Inc. The official FAA identifier for the facility is CL61. The site is a private-use heliport, housing the company's fleet of helicopters and supporting their daily agricultural and firefighting missions. It includes hangars, maintenance facilities, and administrative offices at its location on County Line Rd in Delano.

The site is the long-standing base of operations for San Joaquin Helicopters, Inc., a prominent aviation company founded in 1969. Historically, it has been a critical hub for agricultural aviation in California's Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. Operations have always included crop dusting, seeding, fertilizing, and frost control. The heliport also gained significance as a base for aerial firefighting support, with its helicopters frequently contracted by agencies like CAL FIRE to combat wildfires across the state.

Not applicable. The heliport never physically closed and is currently active. There are no 'reopening' plans because it is a continuously operating private facility.
