Buchanan Field
Buchanan Field occupies a stretch of the East Bay in Concord, California, functioning as one of the busiest general-aviation reliever airports in the San Francisco Bay Area. Corporate jets, flight training schools, and private pilots based in Contra Costa County make up the bulk of CCR's traffic, easing pressure on the region's larger commercial airports. The field traces its roots to the 1940s, when the U.S. Army used it for pilot training during the Second World War, and its layout still reflects that military-era planning.
