Plainsview Ranch Airport

Change in land use for agricultural purposes. The installation of irrigation equipment on the former runway signifies that the landowner repurposed the field for farming, making aviation operations impossible. This is a common fate for small, private airstrips on agricultural properties.

The airport is permanently closed and has been fully reclaimed for agriculture. Satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the former runway, but the land is now part of a larger cultivated field. A center-pivot irrigation system now operates over the site, making any future aviation use impossible without significant redevelopment.

Plainsview Ranch Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. Its primary function was to serve the transportation and operational needs of the Plainsview Ranch. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft suitable for short, unpaved runways. Its use was likely for personal travel by the ranch owners and potentially for limited agricultural aviation tasks like cattle spotting or light transport. The airport featured a single north-south turf runway (approximately 2,600 feet long). It held no major regional or national significance and was not open for public use.

None. The land has been fundamentally converted to irrigated farmland, and the infrastructure for this new use is permanently in place. There are no known plans or prospects for the site to be reverted to an airport.
