Roy Williams Airport

The closure was due to the airport being a private field whose existence was tied to its owner. After owner and operator Roy Williams passed away in 1999, the airport was no longer maintained and was officially closed and removed from aviation charts.

The site is currently a private residential property. The faint, eroded outlines of the two runways are still visible in satellite imagery but are completely unusable for aircraft. The land is overgrown with desert scrub, and the former airfield is slowly being reclaimed by the natural landscape. Several private buildings exist on the property, but the runway areas themselves remain undeveloped open land.

Roy Williams Airport, which formerly held the FAA identifier L02, was a private airfield owned by its namesake, Roy Williams, a notable movie stunt pilot and actor. Active from at least the mid-1960s, it served as his personal base for general aviation. The airport featured two unpaved dirt runways, with the primary runway (14/32) being approximately 2,600 feet long. It was a classic example of the many private desert airfields built in Southern California during the mid-20th century by aviation enthusiasts for recreational flying.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Roy Williams Airport. Given that it has been closed for over two decades, the land is privately owned as a residence, and the infrastructure has significantly deteriorated, the likelihood of it ever being restored as an operational airport is virtually zero.
