Rosales Airport is an airfield located in Rosales, Pangasinan, in the Philippines. It is listed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines for operation of rotary aircraft only.[1] The airfield was constructed in October 1941, on the eve of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, initially as a dirt landing strip.[2] Before and after the occupation of Clark Air Base by the Japanese, Rosales acted as a secondary airfield for U.S. Air Force aircraft stationed there. Its gravel runway has a length of 1,043 metres (3,422 ft).[3]
