Oranges Airport serves Stockton, US.
Oranges Airport (US-6063), also known as Orange Airport, was located in Stockton, California, east of the intersection of North Lower Sacramento Road and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Originally named Stockton Airport in 1939, it was built by Les and Ed Oranges of Oranges Brothers Construction. The airport was likely closed during World War II, as many small civilian airports were, and was not listed as active in 1945. It reopened between 1945 and 1953 as "Oranges Airport" and was later renamed "Orange Airport".
The airport was depicted with two runways and several small buildings in 1953, and by 1957, it had a single east-west runway with a dozen light single-engine aircraft and several hangars. The last aeronautical chart depiction of Orange Airport was in September 1960, and it was no longer shown on charts by June 1965, indicating its closure between 1961 and 1965. By 1967, houses had been built over most of the property, though portions of a runway were still recognizable. The 1972 USGS topo map showed that the John F. Kennedy School and housing had completely covered the site. Aerial photos from 1993 and 2013 show no remaining trace of the airport. The airport is officially classified as closed.
