While there was an "original Merced Municipal Airport" located near the intersection of U.S. Route 99 and California State Route 59, which could informally link to "59 Ranch" due to the highway number, this historical airport was officially known as the "Merced Auxiliary Field" during its military lease to the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945. This auxiliary field was returned to the City of Merced on August 23, 1945, and subsequently closed with the establishment of the New Merced Regional Airport. The land where the Merced Auxiliary Field once stood is now utilized for farmland and housing.
Other airports with "Ranch" in their names, such as "Lamb Ranch Airport (59KS)" in Kansas and "P-K RANCH Airport (60TX)" in Texas, were found, but these are not located in Merced, US, and do not correspond to the US-9972 identifier.
