Otto Intermediate Field was one of the nationwide network of Intermediate Fields

established by the Commerce Department in the 1930s along commercial airways between major cities.

The date of establishment of Otto Intermediate Field has not been determined.

The earliest reference which has been located of Otto Intermediate Field was its listing as an airfield & radio facility in the September 1931 Commerce Department Airway Bulletin #1 (according to Steve Owen).

The earliest depiction which has been located of Otto Intermediate Field was on the March 1932 Albuquerque Sectional Chart, which labeled it as Landing Field 73A.

The 1945 AAF Airfield Directory (courtesy of Scott Murdock) described Otto Intermediate Field as a 153 acre L-shaped property having 3 sand & sod landing strips, the longest being the 4,100' northeast/southwest strip. The field was said to not have any hangars, to be owned by private interests, and operated by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.

...Steve Owen reported, “The 1930s Otto airway station house was shut down as of 1962 and eventually moved to the new Moriarty Airport, as was the Otto beacon tower. Meanwhile, the Otto FSS building & 'delta' antenna towers remained at the old site & became a private enterprise, ('ICE': Ionosphere Communications Experiments).”

The site of Otto Intermediate Field is located northeast of the intersection of Route 41 & County Road 6A.

Great research! I've been saying that there was more to Zorro Ranch than sex slaves. It is huge!

ICE sounds like HAARP. HAARP was based on work of Nicola Tesla. President Trump's uncle had access to Tesla's papers after he died.
