Kingsville Naval Outlying Landing Field Number 13 serves Corpus Christi, US.
Kingsville Naval Outlying Landing Field Number 13 (US-5043) was one of over 50 naval outlying landing fields built during World War II to support Navy flight training in the Corpus Christi area, primarily for touch-and-go landings. Established in 1943, it featured 4 paved runways and was leased from the King Ranch. The field's active use by the Navy likely ceased with the end of WWII, and the lease was canceled in the late 1940s, with the land returned to its owners. By 1949, it was abandoned, and by 1995, the runway pavement had been removed, though its square outline remains recognizable today.
