Where the Water Meets the Sky!

Yes, our community has an airstrip! Clearing for a proposed private, 4,000-foot landing strip commenced in the late 1960’s and continued into the early 1970’s. It was completed in 1980 and FAA approval was received. It was named Simpson Field.

The landing field is located 28 nautical miles on the 8-degree radial from Gregg County VOR. The FAA identification code is 61TA and is shown on the Memphis Sectional Chart. The runways are 7 and 25. The common airport advisory frequency is 122.9. Flight following radar services are provided by contacting Longview Regional Airport KGGG. Fuel is available at Gilmer, Longview, and Atlanta airports.

For non-resident pilots who would like to land at the airstrip, contact the Airfield Manager, Steve Biles, at Steven.biles@gmail.com
