The San Diego River is a river in San Diego County, California. It originates in the Cuyamaca Mountains northwest of the town of Julian, then flows to the southwest until it reaches the El Capitan Reservoir, the largest reservoir in the river's watershed at 112,800 acre-feet (139,100,000 m3). Below El Capitan Dam, the river runs west through Santee and San Diego. While passing through Tierrasanta it goes through Mission Trails Regional Park, one of the largest urban parks in America. It flows near the Mission San Diego de Alcalá. The river's valley downstream from there is known as Mission Valley for that reason. The valley forms a transportation corridor for Interstate 8 and for the San Diego Trolley Green Line. The river discharges into the Pacific Ocean near the entrance to Mission Bay, forming an estuary.

Peik Auxiliary Field also called Peik Field and Peik Airport was an airfield used during World War II to support the San Bernardino Army Air Field, Desert Training Center and San Diego Municipal Airport, called Lindbergh Field. The local Peik Airport was built in 1934 by Arnold Peik, is son Leander Peik (1927-2011) and his family, barnstormers from Wisconsin, that also ran a flight school at the airport. Leander Peik dad taught him to fly when he was 10 years old, he became the airport manager at a young age. With the start of World War II there was a demand for trained pilots and the Army took over the Airport. Auxiliary fields, like Peik, were used to support the training of US Army pilots during World War II. The runway was located in Mission Bay of San Diego, California. The runways as in the southeast corner of Mission Bay, near the current Interstate 5 and Interstate 8 interchange. The entrance to the Peik Auxiliary Field was at the end of Anna Avenue, which at the time extended into Mission Bay. When the I-5 was built Anna Avenue was removed west of the Santa Fe train tracks. For the war, many new trained pilots were needed. Peik Auxiliary Field provided a place for pilots to practice landing and take off without other air traffic. Peik Auxiliary Field site offered flight training without distractions. The United States Army Air Corps's Army Air Forces Basic Flying School, the Army Air Force Pilot School used Peik Auxiliary Field for fighter pilots training. The Army took the runway from 800-feet to 2,600-feet long and 150-feet wide made of turfgrass. To support the training of the many pilots, San Bernardino Army Air Field operated a number of auxiliary airfields. After the war, Peik Auxiliary Field was returned to the Peik family. The Peik family closed the airport in 1955 and no trace of the runway can be found today, the site is open land in Mission Bay with Sea World Drive cutting across the past runway..

Dutch Flats Airport is a former airport in the Midway area, a neighborhood of San Diego, California. It is located at the northern (mainland) end of the Point Loma peninsula, northwest of Downtown San Diego and just west of Old Town. Other names include: Ryan Airport, Mahoney Airport, and Speer Airport. In 1923 T. Claude Ryan moved his business Ryan Airline Company to an area of Dutch Flats adjoining the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, located near what are now Midway and Barnett streets. A hangar, a small office building and grass airstrip were constructed. He hired a full-time mechanic and offered free plane parking to other pilots, the ensuing success allowed the business to develop into a larger airport and flight training school. Ryan took on a partner, Benjamin Franklin Mahoney, and on 1 March 1925, they started the first year-round, regularly-scheduled passenger airline, the Los Angeles – San Diego Air Line, which continued for about a year and a half.Dutch Flats Airport became famous when Ryan built a specially designed aircraft, for Charles A. Lindbergh After completion at the adjoining Ryan factory, Charles A. Lindbergh made the first flight of his Spirit of St. Louis airplane, constructed in 60 days by Ryan Airlines. The 20-minute flight took place on 28 April 1927. Lindbergh describes the flight: This morning I’m going to test the Spirit of St. Louis. It’s the 28th of April (1927)—just over two months since I placed our order with the Ryan Company, and exactly sixty days since business formalities were completed and work on the plane began. What a beautiful machine it is, resting there on the field in front of the hanger, trim and slender, gleaming in its silver coat! All our ideas, all our calculations, all our hopes lie there before me, waiting to undergo the acid test of flight. For me it seems to contain the whole future of aviation. In 1929, the editor of the San Diego Sun announced a contest to encourage women's participation in aviation – the winner of the “Miss Air Capital of the West” contest would receive a free full course of instruction at the Ryan Flying School at a (1929) value of about $1,300. The contest consisted of a series of tests to determine the greatest advance over a period of time in the study and practice of aviation. When the judges made their final decision, Peaches Wallace placed first with a score of 85.48. The flying instructions began on September 3, 1929, at Ryan Airport (Dutch Flats). In 1929, pioneer aviatrix Ruth Alexander, a graduate of the Ryan Flying School, established a new world record for women in light aircraft on a flight from Dutch Flats Airport. A post office now located on the site contains several historic plaques commemorating Dutch Flats and Lindbergh.In the early 1940s, the name of the Dutch Flats Airport was changed to the Speers Airport. The airport was not used during WWII, and the government later converted the land to military housing facilities.
