Bloyer Field (Y72) is a city owned public use airport located one nautical mile east of the central business district of Tomah, a city in Monroe County, Wisconsin, United States. It provides general aviation services.
First known as Tomah Army Airfield Technical School, it was activated on November 30, 1942 to conduct technical training for the United States Army Air Forces. 1000 Technical School Squadron (Special) provided technical training including radio interception techniques, radio maintenance and operations to personnel. It functioned as a sub-base of Radio school at Truax Army Airfield at Madison, itself part of Central (later Eastern) Technical Training Command. The school was inactivated on April 1, 1944. The facility was transferred to Air Technical Service Command on April 30, 1944. It was transferred as inactive to the US Army Corps of Engineers on April 1, 1946 for disposition.
The airfield was turned over to civil control through the War Assets Administration (WAA).
I have created this airport in response to a comment about airfields in the boundaries of the Volk Military Operations Area (MOA). This recreation offers dirty detailed apron, night lighting around the main apron area and edge lighting for the runway and main taxiway leading to the runway. The airport has 6 apron parking spots and 1 fuel box.
All hangars, buildings and props outside of my custom models came from the SDK. I will work on making this fully custom when I have the time to do so. I am satisfied with the airport at the moment and wanted to share this with the community.
