Patterson Airport

Economic reasons related to urban encroachment. As the city of Patterson expanded, the land became significantly more valuable for commercial and industrial development than for use as a small general aviation airport. The subsequent construction of a major logistics and distribution hub on the site confirms this.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as a former airport. It is now a major industrial park and logistics hub, often referred to as the Patterson Business Park. The land is occupied by massive distribution centers for major corporations, including Amazon, Grainger, and others. The former runway and airport facilities have been replaced by large buildings, parking lots, and industrial roads like Rogers Road and Park Center Drive.

Patterson Airport was a privately-owned, public-use general aviation airfield that served the local community for several decades, appearing on aeronautical charts as early as 1949. It featured a single unpaved/dirt runway (Runway 12/30) approximately 2,600 feet in length. The airport primarily supported private pilots and small aircraft, serving as a vital link for the agricultural community and local aviation enthusiasts. The identifier 'US-11139' is a non-official code from a third-party database; the airport did not have an official ICAO code.

There are zero prospects for reopening. The land has been permanently and completely redeveloped with high-value industrial infrastructure, making it physically and economically impossible to revert the site to aviation use.
