Taylor Airport

The closure was likely due to economic reasons and disuse. Taylor Airport was a small, privately-owned field with a single unpaved runway. Its operations were likely superseded by the nearby Albany Municipal Airport (ICAO: KT23), a superior public-use facility with a 5,000-foot paved runway that better serves the community's general aviation needs. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, military conversion, or urban development.

The site of the former Taylor Airport has completely reverted to private ranchland or farmland. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (32.7417, -99.2977) reveals the faint, overgrown outline of the former north/south runway in an open field. There are no remaining structures such as hangars, sheds, or any other airport infrastructure on the property. The land is used for agricultural purposes, likely cattle grazing.

Taylor Airport was a minor general aviation airfield with limited historical significance. It was a private facility, owned by a J.E. Taylor, and became active sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s. When operational, it featured a single north/south turf runway approximately 2,600 feet long. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft for private recreational use and potentially local agricultural aviation (crop dusting), which is common in rural Texas. It never hosted commercial or significant military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Taylor Airport. The land is privately owned and has been fully integrated back into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The aviation needs of Albany, Texas, are adequately met by the active and well-maintained Albany Municipal Airport (KT23), making the reopening of this small, defunct private strip unnecessary and economically unfeasible.
