Christian Ranch Airport

The official reason for closure is not recorded. However, the most common reasons for the closure of small, private ranch airstrips include a change in property ownership, the owner ceasing to fly or selling their aircraft, or the prohibitive cost of maintenance and insurance. There is no indication that it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The site is now private ranch land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (30.8603, -100.567) shows no visible, maintained runway or airport infrastructure. The land appears to be used for agriculture or ranching, and any traces of the former airstrip have likely been overgrown or repurposed as a simple dirt track.

Christian Ranch Airport has no recorded national or regional historical significance. It was a private-use airstrip, typical of many found on large ranches throughout Texas. Its operations would have been exclusively for general aviation, serving the needs of the ranch owner. This likely included personal transportation and agricultural activities such as surveying the property, checking on livestock, or fence-line patrols using light, single-engine aircraft.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Christian Ranch Airport. As the land is privately owned, any potential reactivation would be entirely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. There is no public or commercial interest in reopening this remote, private field, especially with the public-use Schleicher County Airport (KECU) located nearby.
