==Del Monte Airfield today== [[File:MacArthur Monument in Bukidnon.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Gen. [[Douglas MacArthur's escape from the Philippines|Douglas MacArthur evacuation]] memorial in Diklum, Bukidnon in Mindanao, bearing the inscription ''In alis vincimus'' (On wings we conquer)]] The complex was not used by the United States or Philippine Commonwealth armed forces during the [[Philippines Campaign (1944β45)]], and the airfields were returned to the Del Monte Pineapple Corporation. MacArthur evacuation memorial at the site of the Del Monte Field, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, Philippines, The present-day airstrip of the Del Monte company, built for their light aircraft, is about two miles south of the wartime airfield. Both #1 (Main) and #2 (Fighter) fields have become rice paddies and cornfields, a dirt road being the only trace of their wartime purpose. As of October 2013, The Del Monte Airfield is closed to general aviation, but ultralight aircraft, paramotor aircraft from paramotor flying school of Kampo Juan eco resort, and radio-controlled aircraft enthusiasts from nearby Cagayan de Oro city use the airfield with the approval of the Del Monte management. The Gen. [[Douglas MacArthur]] Landmark was erected by the Rotary Club of Northern Bukidnon in Barangay Dicklum to mark the site of Del Monte Field.
