Approximately between 1995 and 2005. The airfield was still depicted as operational on a 1995 USGS aerial photo but was shown to be converted to farmland with new structures by a 2006 aerial photo.
Change in land use from aviation to agriculture. As a small, privately-owned airfield, its closure was likely an economic decision by the landowner to repurpose the property for farming, which is a primary industry in the region. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to the closure.
The site is now used for agricultural purposes. The former runway is no longer distinguishable and has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. Several large grain silos and associated agricultural buildings have been constructed directly on the southern portion of the former airfield, completely obliterating any trace of its prior use as an airport.
Robertson Airport was a small, privately-owned airfield serving the local general aviation community around McCrory, Arkansas. Its primary function was likely for personal, recreational, and agricultural aircraft (such as crop dusters). It was first depicted on aeronautical charts in the mid-1960s. The 1982 AOPA Airports USA directory described Robertson Field as having a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway. Its significance was purely local, providing a basic landing strip for light aircraft in a rural area.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The presence of significant and permanent agricultural infrastructure (buildings and silos) on the site makes its conversion back to an airfield extremely unlikely and economically unfeasible.
