Line 1: {{short description\|Municipal airport near Hawthorne, Los Angeles County, CA, USA}} {{Infobox airport \| name = Hawthorne Municipal Airport Line 32: == History == The name "Jack Northrop Field" comes from the [[Northrop Aircraft Corporation]], founded by [[Jack Northrop]], which for years designed, built and flew many classic airplanes including [[Northrop YB-35\|YB-35 flying wing]], the [[Northrop P-61 Black Widow\|P-61 Black Widow]] and [[Northrop F-89 Scorpion\|F-89 Scorpion]] night fighters, the [[Northrop F-5\|F-5 Freedom Fighter]], and the [[Northrop T-38 Talon\|T-38 Talon]] jet trainer.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Hawthorne Municipal Airport's roots lie in the early days of the aerospace industry {{!}} South Bay History \|url=http://blogs.dailybreeze.com/history/2016/05/07/hawthorne-municipal-airports-roots-lie-in-the-early-days-of-the-aerospace-industry/ \|access-date=2021-01-08 \|website=blogs.dailybreeze.com}}</ref> During [[World War II]], the airfield was used by the [[United States Army Air Forces]] [[Air Materiel Command\|Air Technical Service Command]] as an aircraft modification center and [[Air Transport Command]] to ferry new aircraft to operational units. Line 41: The airport covers {{convert\|80\|acres\|abbr=on}}; its one [[runway]], 7/25, is {{convert\|4884\|x\|100\|ft\|abbr=on}} [[concrete]]. It is effectively crammed into a very small space and is surrounded by residential areas on all sides. The airport is also in very close proximity to the considerably larger [[Los Angeles International Airport]], so special consideration must be given attention to avoid encroaching on the LAX airspace. There is one [[fixed-base operator]] (FBO) at the airport, [[Jet Center Los Angeles]], a ~~subsidary~~subsidiary of Advanced Air. There is also one other aviation related business on the airfield, Star Helicopters.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=KHHR – Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport \|url=https://www.airnav.com/airport/KHHR/ \|access-date=2023-12-22 \|website=AirNav}}</ref> == Airline and destinations == <!-- Please use only independent sources.
