Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately late 2021. The airport's associated business, 'Putz Aero, Inc.', was listed as 'Franchise Tax Involuntarily Ended' by the Texas Comptroller on November 19, 2021. The airport was marked as 'Closed indefinitely' in FAA records and on aeronautical charts around this period.

Reason for Closure

Economic and administrative reasons. The airport was a private facility directly tied to the operations of Putz Aero, Inc., an agricultural aviation company. The closure was a direct result of the dissolution of this business entity, likely due to the owner's retirement or other factors leading to the cessation of the company's operations.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and non-operational. Recent satellite imagery shows the site is no longer maintained for aviation. The turf runway is overgrown and is reverting to a simple grass field. The hangar and any associated buildings may still be on the property, but they are no longer used for aircraft operations. The land remains private property.

Historical Significance

Putz Aero Inc Airport (FAA LID: 1TE2) was a private-use airfield crucial to the local agricultural economy of Calvert and Robertson County, Texas. Its primary operation was aerial application (crop dusting), providing essential services to area farms. The airport consisted of a single turf runway, designated 17/35, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. It was owned and operated by Larry Putz and served as the base for his agricultural spraying business for many years.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Its FAA status is 'Closed indefinitely,' which typically signifies a permanent closure. Since the airport's existence was tied to a specific private business that has been dissolved, a reopening would require a new owner to purchase the property and undertake the significant process of re-certifying it as an active airfield with the FAA, which is considered highly unlikely.
