Dibrell Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to economic factors, the sale of the property, or a decision by the owner to cease operations. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed to all air traffic. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (31.443304, -95.276191) clearly shows the remnants of the grass runway. The strip is overgrown and no longer maintained for aviation purposes. The site appears to have been fully integrated into the surrounding private property, which functions as a ranch or farm. Buildings that likely served as a residence and private hangar still exist at the southern end of the former runway.

Dibrell Airport, which formerly used the FAA identifier T14, was a private general aviation airfield. It was operational from at least the 1970s and served the personal aviation needs of its owner, the Dibrell family, and possibly other local pilots. The airport featured a single north/south unpaved turf runway, approximately 3,000 feet in length. It handled light, single-engine aircraft for recreational and personal travel and was never used for commercial or scheduled airline services.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Dibrell Airport. Given that it has been closed for approximately two decades and the land is privately owned and used for agricultural purposes, the likelihood of it ever being restored as an active airfield is extremely low.
