  "terminal_info": "Mefford Field is Tulare's municipal airport in California's San Joaquin Valley, serving general aviation, agricultural aviation, business aircraft, and local flying rather than scheduled airline service. Its value comes from supporting Tulare's farm economy and Central Valley air operations, so the airport is organized as a working GA field instead of a passenger terminal.\n\nThat means the airport experience is centered on ramps, hangars, pilot services, local business flying, and private-aircraft access rather than on airline counters or transfer banks. Visitors arriving here are usually using Mefford Field for direct local access to Tulare, with ground movement and schedules shaped more by operators and aircraft availability than by a published commercial timetable.\n\nThe field stands out because it supports the local economy in a practical way without needing heavy airline traffic. Airports like this remain important in United States of America because they handle charter, training, emergency, and executive flying that larger commercial hubs cannot serve as conveniently for the immediate area around Tulare.",
