Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 1998 and 2002. The airport was still depicted on the 1998 World Aeronautical Chart but was no longer listed on the 2002 Atlanta Sectional Chart, indicating it was officially closed to air traffic during that period.

Reason for Closure

The exact reason for the closure is not publicly documented, which is typical for a small, private airfield. The closure was not due to military conversion, a specific accident, or urban development. It is presumed to be the result of a private decision by the owner(s), likely due to the sale of the property, the owner ceasing to fly, or the dissolution of the business entity 'Flying H Ranch, Inc.' that operated the ranch and airstrip.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and defunct. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (33.1978, -84.084396) shows the clear outline of the former runway, but it is completely overgrown with grass and vegetation, rendering it unusable for any aviation activity. The land is part of a large rural property and appears to be used as pasture or is simply fallow. The access road, 'Flying H Ranch Rd', still exists.

Historical Significance

The Flying H Ranch Inc Airport was a private general aviation airfield with local, rather than national, significance. Its primary purpose was to serve the transportation and recreational needs of the owners and guests of the Flying H Ranch. When active, it featured a single unpaved turf/dirt runway, oriented north-south, with a length of approximately 3,300 feet. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for personal and business travel. It was never a public-use or commercial airport.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Reinstating the airfield would require a significant private investment from the current landowner to clear, grade, and potentially license the runway. Given its history as a private strip and the proximity of other public-use general aviation airports, there is no apparent commercial or public demand that would justify its reopening. The prospects are considered non-existent.
