Pioneer Field Flight Park Ultralightport

The exact reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. Evidence strongly suggests the closure was due to the abandonment of its aviation use by the private owner. This is typically caused by factors such as the owner's retirement, sale of the property, or a simple decision to no longer maintain it as an active airstrip. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident, economic failure of a commercial business, or conversion for military or industrial use.

The site of the former airport is now a private residential property. The grass runway is no longer maintained and is completely overgrown, blending into the surrounding lawn and field. While the faint outline of the strip might be discernible from historical satellite views, it is not usable for aircraft. A building that previously served as a hangar is still present on the property but is likely used for personal storage or as a workshop for the residence.

Pioneer Field Flight Park was a private-use ultralightport that served the local recreational flying community in the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. Its primary function was to provide a dedicated and safe space for the operation of ultralight vehicles, which are governed by FAA Part 103 rules. This includes aircraft such as powered parachutes, weight-shift control trikes, and traditional fixed-wing ultralights. The facility consisted of a single grass runway, estimated to be around 1800 feet long. Its significance was not in large-scale commercial or military operations, but as a vital local hub for a niche segment of aviation enthusiasts, allowing them to fly without conflicting with traffic at larger airports like Shreveport Regional (KSHV).

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Pioneer Field Flight Park. The land is privately owned and integrated into a residential lot. Re-establishing an airport, even a private one, would face significant regulatory hurdles and require substantial investment. The property is considered permanently closed to all aviation traffic.
