South Point Airstrip serves Santa Rosa Island, US.
South Point Airstrip (US-7324) is associated with the former Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station (ADC ID: P-15), a General Surveillance Radar station built in 1951 near South Point on Santa Rosa Island. The station closed on March 31, 1963, due to budget reductions, and its operations were moved to Lompoc AFS. Historically, it served as a crucial part of the Air Defense Command's permanent radar network during the Korean War, guiding interceptor aircraft. Today, the site of the former Santa Rosa Island Air Force Station has been obliterated, with the land returned to its natural state by the National Park Service. While Santa Rosa Island also had a "Becher's Bay airstrip" used by Channel Islands Aviation for civilian flights until 2021, the South Point Airstrip (US-7324) likely refers to the older, military-associated site given its "CLOSED" classification and the obliteration of the Air Force Station.
