Gustafson Airport

While not officially documented, the closure of a small, private airfield like Gustafson Airport was most likely due to economic reasons. Common factors for such closures include the high cost of maintenance, lack of use, the owner's death, or the sale of the property for a more profitable purpose, such as agriculture.

The airport site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint, overgrown outline of a single north-south runway in the middle of a cultivated field. There are no remaining signs of airport infrastructure such as hangars, terminals, or other buildings. The land is actively being farmed.

Gustafson Airport was a small, privately-owned airstrip, likely named after its owner. Its significance was purely local. It does not appear on major historical aviation charts, suggesting it was either a private, unregistered field or was only operational for a very short period. Operations would have been limited to light general aviation aircraft for personal use or, given its location in a heavily agricultural region, for agricultural aviation such as crop dusting.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Gustafson Airport. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and the general aviation needs of the Tallulah area are served by the nearby Vicksburg-Tallulah Airport (IATA: TVR, ICAO: KTVR).
