Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is unknown, but evidence suggests the airport closed sometime between the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was depicted on a 1995 USGS aerial photo and 1990s aeronautical charts but was no longer shown on the 2003 Fort Worth Sectional Chart.

Reason for Closure

No official reason is documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to economic reasons or a change in land ownership. The owner may have sold the property, passed away, or simply ceased aviation activities, allowing the airfield to fall into disuse and the land to be repurposed for agriculture.

Current Status

The site is currently private property and appears to be used for ranching or agriculture, consistent with the surrounding rural landscape. Satellite imagery shows the faint but still visible outline of the former runway, which is now overgrown with grass. The buildings that may have once served as hangars are now likely used as barns or for general farm storage. The site is not accessible to the public and is definitively no longer an active airfield.

Historical Significance

Edwards Airport was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. It was listed on aeronautical charts with the FAA identifier 1TS2. Its primary function was to serve the private aviation needs of its owner and possibly other local pilots with permission. It featured a single, unpaved (turf or gravel) runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, oriented in a northwest/southeast direction. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft such as Cessnas or Pipers for recreational flying or potentially agricultural purposes. It held no major commercial or military significance and served a purely local, private role.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Edwards Airport. Given that it has been closed for over two decades and the land has been fully integrated into private agricultural use, the likelihood of it ever being restored as an airport is extremely low to non-existent.
