Naval Auxiliary Air Station Salton Sea, was a United States Navy military facility located eight miles south of Salton City, California on the west shore of the Salton Sea. It was an auxiliary field to Naval Air Station San Diego commissioned in 1942, and had a barracks for over 600 men constructed there. It was disestablished in 1946. Naval Air Facility El Centro then took over the facility using it for parachute tests of the crewed space program and other military systems until 1979. There remains little if anything of the former field. The Salton Sea has taken over much of the runway.
