Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2018-2019. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was still intact in 2017 but was being tilled over for agricultural use by October 2019, indicating the airport was permanently closed during that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, as it was a private airfield. However, evidence strongly suggests the closure was due to the land being converted back to agricultural use. The runway area was tilled and integrated into the surrounding farmland. This is common for private airstrips when the owner no longer has an operational need for it, sells the property, or finds the land more valuable for farming or grazing.

Current Status

The site has been fully reclaimed as agricultural land. The former north-south dirt runway is no longer maintained, and its faint outline is barely visible on current satellite imagery. The land is actively used for farming or grazing, and no airport infrastructure, such as hangars or markings, remains. The ICAO identifier 'US-10345' is a non-standard code, likely assigned by an independent database to track the location, and is not an official FAA or ICAO designation.

Historical Significance

Comanche Livestock Airport was a small, private airfield that was not depicted on major aeronautical charts for most of its existence. Its name implies it was built to serve the needs of a local ranch or livestock operation, likely the 'Comanche Livestock' company. Operations would have been limited to private use, such as personal transportation for the owner, aerial surveys of livestock and property, and potentially light agricultural aviation (crop dusting). The airfield appears to have been constructed sometime between 1987 and 1999 and was active for approximately two decades. Its significance was purely local and private, with no known public, commercial, or military role.

Reopening Prospects

None. The land has been completely repurposed for agriculture, and the runway has been physically removed through tilling. There are no known plans, discussions, or economic incentives to restore the site as an airport.
