El Whisky Airport

While there is no official statement, the closure of a small, private airstrip like El Whisky is typically due to economic reasons, a change in land ownership, or the owner no longer having the need or financial means to maintain it. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and defunct. Recent satellite imagery confirms the site is no longer maintained as an airfield. The former dirt runway is still visible but is heavily eroded, overgrown with vegetation, and is now used as a simple access road for farm vehicles to reach the surrounding fields. Any associated structures, like small hangars or sheds, appear to be gone or in a state of ruin. The site has effectively reverted to agricultural land use.

El Whisky Airport was a private dirt airstrip (aeropista) that served a local ranch or agricultural operation, likely named 'Rancho El Whisky,' a common naming practice in Mexico. Its operations were limited to general aviation. It would have been used for private transportation for the landowner, guests, and personnel, as well as for agricultural aviation, such as crop dusting (fumigación), which is common in the Camargo region. Its significance was entirely private and local, with no history of public, commercial, or military use.

There are no known or published plans to reopen El Whisky Airport. The cost of restoring the runway and establishing the necessary infrastructure makes reopening highly improbable. Its revival would depend entirely on a new private owner acquiring the land and having both a specific need for an airstrip and the capital to rebuild it. As such, the prospects for reopening are considered non-existent.
