The airport was listed as closed in a Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) database update from January 2006. However, historical satellite imagery shows no clear evidence of a runway at the specified coordinates as far back as the early 1990s. This suggests the airport was likely a rudimentary grass strip that ceased operations and was fully reclaimed for agriculture sometime before 2006.
As a private farm airstrip, the specific reason for its closure is not officially documented. The most probable reasons are common for such small airfields: the owner may have stopped flying, the aircraft was sold, the property changed hands, or it was economically more viable to convert the land back to full agricultural use. There is no indication of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.
The site at coordinates 32.239672, -81.640434 is currently active agricultural land, consisting of cultivated fields and trees. There are no visible remnants of a runway, hangar, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.
The airport held no major historical significance and was not a public facility. Its name, 'Crawford Hendrix Farm Airport', indicates it was a private airstrip serving a farm. Operations would have been limited to private general aviation, likely involving a single-engine aircraft for personal transportation or agricultural purposes such as crop dusting. It did not support commercial services, flight training, or significant air traffic.
There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The land is privately owned and utilized for agriculture. The aviation needs of the region are adequately served by the nearby Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport (KTBR).
