D4C Ranch Airport serves Las Vegas, US.
D4C Ranch Airport (US-5996), also known as Ranch Club Airfield, was a short-lived general aviation airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, established between 1944 and 1945. It was built to serve Hoot Gibson's D-4-C Ranch, a "dude ranch" that catered to women seeking quick divorces in Nevada. The airport featured a 4,000-foot unpaved runway and was last depicted on aeronautical charts in March 1951, closing sometime that year as other states liberalized their divorce laws, diminishing the need for Nevada's "divorce ranches". By 2020, aerial photos showed no remaining trace of the airfield, with buildings having been constructed over much of the site.
