Brabsom Farm Airport

Urban encroachment and economic land use change. The rapid suburban expansion of south Fort Worth and Burleson in the 1980s made the land far more valuable for residential development than for a private airfield. The airport was sold and redeveloped into a housing subdivision.

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped and is now a dense residential neighborhood. The land is occupied by single-family homes, streets, and suburban infrastructure. The former runway's alignment is now covered by houses and streets such as West Bend Road and Buckskin Drive within the West Bend and Oak Valley housing developments.

Bransom Farm Airport (often misspelled as Brabsom) was a private general aviation airfield. Established sometime in the early 1950s by its owner, G.T. Bransom, it served as a classic example of a post-war private airstrip. It featured a single, unpaved north/south runway approximately 2,600 feet long. The airport catered to local private pilots and their light aircraft. The identifier US-0025 was a non-official, privately assigned code, as the field was not large enough to warrant an official FAA location identifier. Its main legacy is the name of a local street, 'Bransom Farm Road', which runs near the former airfield site.

There are no prospects for reopening. The land has been permanently and fully converted to high-density residential use. Re-establishing an airport at this location is impossible due to the existing development and complete lack of available space.
