Mabry Field Ultralight

The airport was a private ultralight strip on residential property. The closure was not due to military conversion, a specific accident, or commercial economic failure. Typically, small private airstrips like this close for personal reasons, such as the owner selling the property, ceasing to fly due to age or health, passing away, or simply losing interest in aviation. The 'closure' reflects a cessation of use rather than an official decommissioning.

The site remains private residential property. As of the early 2020s, satellite imagery shows the grass runway is still clearly visible and appears to be mowed and maintained, located next to a private home and a large building consistent with an aircraft hangar. It is unknown if the landowner conducts any occasional, private flight operations from the field, but it is no longer recognized as an active airport in any public database. The land has not been converted to agricultural, commercial, or other use.

Mabry Field Ultralight was a private, unpaved grass airstrip used for recreational flying. Its operations were limited to ultralight vehicles (as defined under FAR Part 103) and potentially experimental or light-sport aircraft. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a personal airfield for the owner and possibly invited guests from the local aviation community. It held no commercial, military, or public transportation role and was not part of the national airport system.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Mabry Field as a public or officially recognized airport. Any future aviation activity from the site would be at the sole discretion of the current landowner for their private use. Given its nature as a small, private strip, public reopening is considered nonexistent.
