Lahontan Field serves Fallon, US.
Lahontan Field (US-1851) was a small general aviation airport located southwest of Fallon, Nevada, at 39.459, -118.786. Established between 1944 and 1945, it was depicted as an auxiliary airfield on the May 1945 Reno Sectional Chart. The airport featured two unpaved runways in an X-shape and a few small buildings.
Lahontan Field closed sometime in 1954, no longer appearing on the September 1954 Reno Sectional Chart, and was likely replaced by the larger Fallon Municipal Airport. By 1956, aerial views showed no aircraft, indicating it was already closed. The site is now Churchill County Regional Park, with a 1994 aerial photo showing athletic fields covering the former airport. As of 2014, no traces of Lahontan Field remained.
