Sky Ranch Airport (FAA LID: 3L2), also known as Sky Ranch Estates or Aérodrome de Sky Ranch, is a privately owned, public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the central business district of Sandy Valley, a town in Clark County, Nevada, United States.[1]
This field should not be confused with the former Sky Ranch Airport (1930s - 1970) which was located 7 miles (11 km) north of Sparks, Nevada, at which the first two "Reno" National Air Races were flown.
