Comanche Landing Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented, which is common for small, privately owned airfields. However, the evidence strongly suggests it was a private decision by the owner to cease aviation operations. The subsequent conversion of the land to agricultural use indicates the closure was likely due to economic factors, a change in land use priority, or a change in ownership.

The airport site has been completely converted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the land where the runway once existed is now actively cultivated farmland. The faint outline of the former north/south runway is still slightly visible through the fields due to soil compaction and texture differences. The associated buildings, likely the owner's residence and a hangar, appear to have been repurposed as a private home and farm outbuildings.

Comanche Landing Airport was a small, private general aviation (GA) airfield. Its name suggests it was likely established and used by an owner of a Piper Comanche aircraft, a popular high-performance single-engine plane. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway, oriented approximately north/south, with a length of about 3,000 feet. Its operations were limited to private recreational flying and personal transport for the owner and any personally-approved pilots. It did not handle commercial, scheduled, or military traffic. Its significance was primarily as a personal asset and a minor part of the local Valdosta-area general aviation community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Comanche Landing Airport. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and the runway no longer exists. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant investment to acquire the land from its current owner, cease farming operations, and reconstruct all necessary aviation infrastructure. Given these factors, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
