Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Sometime between 1993 and 1998. The airfield was depicted on the 1993 Memphis Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 1998 World Aeronautical Chart. The FAA airport facility directory data from 1998 also lists its status as 'Closed Indefinitely'.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the closure is almost certainly due to economic factors or a change in land use priorities by the owner. The land was likely deemed more valuable for agriculture, or the owner may have ceased aviation activities. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.

Current Status

The site of the former Price Field has been completely converted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the land is now a cultivated farm field. A faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible as a slight discoloration in the soil and crops, but no airport infrastructure, such as hangars or other buildings, remains.

Historical Significance

Price Field was a private-use airport owned by the Price family (W.C. Price & W.A. Price listed as owner/manager in the 1980s). Its primary role was supporting local general aviation and, most significantly, agricultural aviation. In the Arkansas Delta, such airfields are crucial for crop dusting operations for cotton, soybeans, and rice. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. It served as a functional, private base for these operations for at least two decades before its closure.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Price Field. The land has been fully reclaimed for farming for over 25 years, and the original infrastructure has been removed. Reactivating the airport would require the landowner to cease agricultural production on the plot and completely rebuild the airfield, making it highly improbable.
