Closed 2022
This airport closed very recently. Wonder if they've gotten the skydiving King Air out of there since I last visited in February.

Reply to @shumphries: Seems like a tough time for Texas country airports. I saw this happen to Luling Carter Field last year.
LSA Fly-Ins
Attended the small light sport aircraft fly-in here in March 2022, their website lists this as twice a year, so keep your eyes peeled!
Great airpark!
Flew in today for an open house for a couple of the properties on the field. Nice place!

@david could you please edit
AOE
It is an AOE but you need to obtain an Overflight Permission to use it as an AOE
Took us about 20 minutes to clear custom
Very friendly
Runway Cafe
I've never seen an airport diner that served pad thai before. Or mariscos. On the same menu as your classic burgers and steaks, and all excellent!
Misplaced all along.
The FAA had this misplaced the whole time.
Sad that this is now slated to be closed soon!
Sad that this is now slated to be closed! I visited 11-19-21 so I could have it in my logbook before it's gone...
Currently known as Moonbow...
Closed
Airnav and FAA now list this as CLOSED INDEFINITELY so there we go.
Army National Guard Helicopter LZ
Used for landings in support of frequent Texas ANG helicopter operations at this lake.
Corrected.
It only took a decade ... but yeah, we're all good here now.
Update
Signed as closed and for sale. Gliderport field is overgrown and now dotted with bushes. Checked in-person 15 May 2021.
Repurposing duplicate
Reusing Snyder Airport duplicate to cover nearby hospital heliport.
Great AIrport
Quick fuel turnaround
Great Ranch!
Highly recommend, permission required to land but definitely a great place to visit! Go on a safari and shoot a flamethrower!

Recently paved and painted as of 20 Dec 2020. No perimeter fence, directly adjacent to FM 1470 to the south, private residences to the north.
well that's a tight fit
Lots of signage warning pedestrians and motorists going into the adjacent parking garage of the "Helicopter Landing Zone". Rotor wash here must be all sorts of fun.
Utley Field Located.
I've moved the GPS coordinates to the location of this private strip.

Great spot!
Landed here for the first time today, despite having flown around Houston for 20 years. Cozy spot. Nice drop-in over the trees onto 17. Will return!
Smoothest asphalt around!
Landed here tonight just to see what this airport was all about. Name probably comes in part from the golf course just to the north of the field. Smoothest runway ever.
Closed
Listed owner deceased 2000, no sign of aviation activity here in the last 20 years.
Great airport - Fantastic Service
I had to stay unexpectedly here waiting out thunderstorms
Great people
Very helpful and CHEAP fuel
Loved this place!
Lover the air strip and the accomodations. Took a photo there that's the home page of my web site, www.humphriesaviation.com
Sad to see it go!
This was one of the first cross-countries I made after earning my license in 1992. Looks like it closed shortly thereafter. You can read about it here: http://airfields-freeman.com/TX/Airfields_TX_FtWorth_SW.htm#luck

Best kept secret
9X1 is the best kept secret! A great place to learn and practice at. Jay Yeagar at Right Stuff Flight School is an amazing instructor. The taxiways are a little beaten up but the runway is decent.
Nice spot to drop in
Dropped in on a Sunday afternoon and basically had the field to ourselves. Nice FBO, friendly people, took the courtesy car into town for a burger at Willys Burger... a pretty darn good burger and only about a 9 minute drive from the field. Fuel prices were reasonable.
Name Change
Wrong name, should be : Alderman Farm Airport
Alpine County NDB Decommissioned
NDB BWR 412 kHz decommissioned May 2018.
Fantastic
Wonderful country. Airport with cheap fuel and now an AOE.
They roll out the red carpet
Good airport
Landed here June 2017 and again April 2018... nice facility, clean restrooms and lounge. Drinks in the fridge and Chase is a friendly and professional airport manager. They have a courtesy car and can also arrange rental vehicles... ask Chase about that. Decent fuel prices and nice folks... I'll be back!
Nice strip, tie downs and great bunkhouse accomodations
Landed here in April 2018 and found the strip in good shape with solid tie downs. No fbo/fuel, etc., but the Park Ranger will come pick you up and take you over to the visitor center and bunkhouse. Just make a low pass near the visitor center about 1/2 mile west of the strip, then land... the will come pick you up in about 15 minutes. They were very nice, helpful and accommodating. The bunkhouse is quite nice... full cooking facilities, comfortable mens and women's bunks, hot showers and restroom, refrigerators and freezers, etc. No restaurants so you have to bring your own food and drinks. They do sell ice, a few snacks and some drinks at the visitor center.
Business Jet Center
One of my favorite FBOs to stop at.

Not the smoothest or flattest runway ever.
Beacon Cafe
A great place to fly- or drive-in for food. Not your typical airport cafe.
can you fly into this airport
Does the flight from SeaTac airport in Washington State fly directly into Sugar
Land Regional airport using Alaska airlines?
Why is there no NOTAMs link for F44?
Why is there no NOTAMs link for F44?
Baron
I just purchased an old baron 55 that was owned by them. Anyone have info on this bird?
Beautiful Airport
I rent the corner hanger space right on the lake. I can watch people fish and they can watch me fly.

Spacey and pleasant airport
This is surprisingky the better of the US international airports. Plenty of space nice restaurants, good music.
Please try to throw luggage a bit more roughly.
Transferring from an international flight to a domestic is refreshingly easy at DFW, but the brutes that take luggage from the SmartCart and "transfer" it to domestic flights appear to take great pleasure in throwing luggage as roughly as possible. Rather than move luggage to the conveyer to transfer to domestic terminals, the guys tossed even the lightest luggage. This is truly unacceptable and requires some oversight (and a few folks seeking jobs).

Do you all have a rental car company at this airport? Is American Airlines the only one that flies into this airport?

Report from personal visit

— @animebirder at Utley Field, United States
I was able to access this field via ground transportation during a previous visit to Bastrop in 2017-2019; it's a pretty rudimentary and obviously private grass strip, little more than a mowed patch of grass beaten down by plane tires. But it's definitely there.
