Athelone Williams Memorial Airport

Economic factors and land redevelopment. The airport was privately owned and operated. As the Davison area grew, the land became increasingly valuable for residential development. After the property was sold, it was repurposed for a housing subdivision, a common fate for many small general aviation airports in expanding suburban areas.

The site has been completely redeveloped into a residential housing subdivision called 'Williamsburg Fields'. There are no physical remnants of the airport infrastructure like the runway or hangars. However, the site's aviation past is commemorated through the street names in the neighborhood, which include 'Runway Drive', 'Hangar Drive', 'Propeller Drive', and 'Aviation Drive'.

Athelone Williams Memorial Airport, originally known as Williams Airport (6G1), was a public-use general aviation airfield established between 1949 and 1953. It was founded by local pilot Athelone 'Abe' Williams. The airport featured a single north/south turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, along with hangars and tie-down spots. It served the local community for decades as a base for private pilots, recreational flying, and personal aircraft storage. After the founder's death, the airport was renamed in his memory and continued to be operated by his family until its closure.

None. The land has been fully and permanently converted to residential use, making it impossible for the airport to ever be reopened at this location.
