Young's Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, evidence points towards the owner's personal decision or economic factors. As a privately owned field, its operation was dependent on the owner, M.L. Young. The closure was not due to a major accident, military conversion, or urban development.

The airport is abandoned and defunct. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint but clear outline of the former north-south runway. The entire landing strip is now completely overgrown with grass, shrubs, and small trees, rendering it unusable for any aviation purposes. The land has reverted to being an open field, blending in with the surrounding agricultural properties and woodlands. There are no buildings or new developments on the former runway.

Young's Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving the owner and potentially other private pilots in the rural Worth County area. It was first depicted on aeronautical charts in the mid-1990s. The facility consisted of a single 3,000-foot by 100-foot turf runway (18/36). Operations would have included recreational flying and possibly agricultural aviation (crop dusting), which is common in this region of Georgia.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Young's Airport. Having been closed for over two decades, the land would require significant investment to clear, re-grade, and certify for aviation use again. The airport is considered permanently closed.
