Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Between 1983 and 1993. The airport was last depicted on the 1983 World Aeronautical Chart but was no longer shown on the 1993 San Antonio Sectional Chart. The closure likely happened shortly after the death of its owner in 1984.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private-use airfield. Its closure is directly linked to the death of its owner and founder, Sidney Sinclair (S.S.) McCreless, in 1984. Following his death, the property was likely sold or repurposed by his family or estate, as there was no longer a primary user for the facility.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed. The land has been subdivided and redeveloped for private residential and agricultural purposes. An analysis of current satellite imagery shows that the former north/south runway is now obstructed by large private homes, fences, trees, and outbuildings. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from the air, the site is completely non-functional as an airfield.

Historical Significance

McCreless Farm Airport was a private airfield established in the late 1960s by S.S. McCreless, a well-known San Antonio real estate developer and philanthropist responsible for landmarks like McCreless Mall. The airport served his personal and business aviation needs, supporting general aviation aircraft. It consisted of a single turf/grass runway, approximately 3,000 feet in length. Its historical importance is tied to the personal history of a prominent local figure rather than any significant public or military aviation events.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero prospects for reopening. The land has been irreversibly redeveloped with permanent residential structures built directly on the former runway and airfield grounds, making any future aviation operations impossible.
