🇺🇸 Reeves Auxillary Army Airfield #1

Reeves Auxiliary Army Airfield #1 (US-0283) was established during World War II as one of four satellite fields supporting Pampa Army Air Field in Pampa, Texas. Pampa Army Air Field provided advanced twin-engine training for aircraft like the Beechcraft AT-10 Wichita, Curtiss-Wright AT-9, North American B-25 Mitchell, and Cessna AT-17 Bobcat. The main Pampa Army Air Field was inactivated on September 30, 1945, and though it saw a brief reopening as Pampa Air Force Auxiliary Field #1 in 1948, it was closed again by 1952 and its property sold off by 1957. Reeves Aux #1 itself was still depicted on aeronautical charts as late as 1952. Today, for the former Pampa Army Air Field, only a concrete water tower, a single hangar, and a broken parking apron remain, with runways and taxiways largely gone. Similarly, for its auxiliary fields like Reeves Aux #1, it is highly probable that little to no original infrastructure remains.
