Bevoni-Flying B Airport

The airport was a privately owned field (owned by W.A. Bevoni). While the specific reason is not officially documented, the closure is typical for small private airfields and is presumed to be due to the owner's personal decision to cease operations. This can be related to the sale of the property, retirement, rising maintenance costs, or liability concerns. There is no evidence of military conversion or a specific accident causing the closure.

The site is now used as private agricultural and ranching land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the location of the former airfield. The outline of the north-south grass runway is still clearly visible but appears unmaintained and overgrown. The land has reverted to its use as part of the surrounding ranch property, and there are no active aviation facilities on site.

Bevoni-Flying B Airport was a private general aviation airfield that served the Flying B Ranch. It first appeared on charts in the mid-1980s. The facility consisted of a single 3,000-foot turf runway, designated 17/35. Its operations were limited to private recreational flying for the owner and their associates, supporting the activities of the ranch. It did not have commercial services or major historical events associated with it but was a part of the local general aviation landscape in North Texas for approximately two decades.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Bevoni-Flying B Airport. As a private field that has been officially closed for nearly two decades, its revival is considered highly unlikely. Any reopening would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner and would require significant effort to meet current FAA standards for an active airfield.
