The airport property is leased from the Bureau of Land Management and has been operated by the Tucson Soaring Club, Inc. since 1983. Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield No. 5 (aka Sahuaro Field) was one of five auxiliary fields that served Marana Army Air Field (now Pinal Airpark) and is one of many Arizona World War II Army Airfields. Sahuaro Field first appeared on the Phoenix  sectional chart in 1945. The airfield was originally described as a " square-shaped property having a square asphalt landing mat." After World War II there is evidence of the airfield being used by the United States Air Force in 1957 for pilot training in North American T-6 Texan and T-28 Trojan aircraft. From 1958 the airport was reportedly abandoned until Tucson Soaring Club leased the property.
