Car Hire Mesa Falcon Field Airport

Guide

Mesa Falcon Field (FFZ) is a small airport located approximately five miles (8km), northeast of the city of Mesa, in Maricopa County in the US sate of Arizona.  Mesa Falcon Field is one of many public airports found all over the world.

Mesa Falcon Field was founded in 1941 and mainly used as a facility for flight training, which would have been used by the cadets that, at the time, were in the British Royal Air Force. The British also held their training at the airport because it was known to have reliable weather conditions, lack of enemy airpower and also desert terrain, which provided safer training.
