Geocache Description:


Located three miles south of town of Marysville, this small airport was taken over by the Army Air Forces and used for only a very short time. It was then transferred to the Air Technical Service Command and eventually vacated. In 1947, through the War Assets Administration, Alicia Army Air Field was released to the City of Marysville and Yuba County. Shortly thereafter, the City of Marysville released all interest in the airport to Yuba County. Yuba County Airport was licensed as an approved airport on September 30, 1949 by the State of California. Some local histories refer to this field as Alicia Army Air Field, but there is no official document stating such. Today it is a sleepy little public use airport. I earned my wings here about 10 years ago and it will always hold a soft spot in my heart. If you are so inclined you may visit one of the establishments on the field to earn your wings too.
This should be a relatively easy drive-up cache. Cache is a modified mint container. FTF can claim either the mini wings or jet.
