FacilitiesOroville Municipal Airport covers {{convert|920|acre|km2}} and has two runways:
Table Mountain Aviation is part of the Oroville Municipal Airport, which lies approximately {{convert|3|mi}} southwest of downtown. The airport has two runways: Runway 1-19 (6,020 feet long and 100 feet wide) and Runway 12-30 (3,540 feet long and 100 feet wide). The runway system is anchored by three major parallel taxiways:
Three main apron areas exist on the airfield. The largest apron area is located around the Table Mountain Aviation FBO buildings. The FBO apron area is home to 38 tie-downs as well as the fuel tanks and provides access to Taxiway R to the west of the apron and Taxiway S to the north of the apron. The second largest apron area is located in the midfield area of the airfield, south of Runway 19. This apron area is home to 76 tie downs. The third apron area is located east of the Table Mountain Golf Course and provides space for 5 tie downs, and is ideal for golfers that fly to the Airport. HistoryIn 1936, the City of Oroville acquired {{convert|188|acre|km2}} of grazing land for use as a municipal airport. During 1941, the city and the Works Project Administration (WPA) extended the runways and increased the total airport land area to {{convert|428|acre|km2}}. In 1942, the War Department leased the Oroville Municipal Airport and renamed it Oroville Army Air Field (AAF). That same year the Army purchased an additional {{convert|381.98|acre|km2}} of land for expansion of the field and construction of a cantonment area. Once operational, it served as a fighter group training installation from spring of 1943 through early summer 1944. Two fighter groups rotated through Oroville AAF: the 357th Fighter Group (fighter group of famed pilots Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson) and the 369th Fighter Group. Aircraft present at the field were identified as the Bell P-39Q Airacobra, North American P-51B/C/D Mustangs, and possibly the North American A-36 Apache, the ground attack version of the P-51. Layout plans of the former Oroville AAF dated 1944 indicate a Bomb Storage Area west of the two runways and a skeet range between the southern extents of the runways. Fueling pit boxes were located along former Taxiways A (running parallel to runway 12/30) and C (connecting the southernmost ends of runways 1/19 and 12/30). A 1947 Inventory Report of Buildings and Structures states that bombs were stored in earth revetments. In 1945 Oroville AAF was listed as “temporarily inactive” under assignment to Air Technical Service Command and was later classified as surplus. In 1946 the War Assets Administration (WAA) assumed custody of the site and on 21 May 1947, the WAA terminated the U.S. Army’s lease with the City of Oroville and returned ownership to civil authorities.
