Phoenix Goodyear Airport is located in Goodyear, Arizona, a short distance Southwest from Phoenix. It is operated by the Phoenix Aviation Department. The airport was built in 1943 and originally operated by the U.S.Navy. The aircraft division of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company was located at the airfield, as well. It was used as a storage facility for military aircraft for a time also. Some improvements are currently under way, and the airport is considered a reliever airport for Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport. A new terminal building opened in March 2000. The airport does not have commercial airliner traffic, however many airliners can be seen at the airports repair station, TIMCO. The repair station was once owned by AMS (Aviation Management Systems) before going out of business at the end of 2002, but TIMCO took over the facility in 2003.  The airport is used mainly for general aviation, some maintenance, and is home to Lufthansa's Airline Flight Training Center here in Arizona. You probably won't see a lot at GYR, however if you're in the Phoenix area a side trip to this airport may produce some interesting sightings.
The photos on this page represent some of the aircraft that have stopped by Goodyear Airport (GYR).

Ex-Hawaiian Douglas DC-10, N146AA meets the end of the road.
