## Description

F-35Bs fly pattern work overhead while lettuce harvesters crawl through the fields below – that is Yuma in January. The airfield is shared ground: Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, home to the Corps' weapons school MAWTS-1, accounts for most movements, while American Eagle links the civilian terminal to Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix. America's winter-salad capital ships its produce in refrigerated trucks up Interstate 8; air waybills are a foreign language here. Freight for the region clears through Phoenix Sky Harbor or San Diego instead.
