Crowe Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield (named for its owner, J.M. Crowe), the closure was likely a private decision. Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement or death, the sale of the property, prohibitive costs of insurance and maintenance, or a general cessation of personal flying activities.

The airport is permanently closed and the site is now used for agricultural purposes. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (31.6168, -83.883202) clearly shows the faint outline of the former north-south runway. However, the entire length of the strip is completely overgrown with grass and small trees, making it unusable for any aviation activity. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding private farmland.

Crowe Airport (formerly assigned FAA identifier GA99) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It held local significance for private and recreational pilots in the Sylvester, Georgia area. It was not a commercial or military facility. When active, it featured a single unpaved turf runway (18/36) with a length of approximately 3,000 feet. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft, likely for personal use and potentially agricultural purposes, given its rural location.

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Crowe Airport. The land is privately owned and has been repurposed for agriculture for over a decade. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant private investment to clear the land, rebuild the runway surface, and obtain new licenses, which is considered highly improbable.
