SkyEye Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You may be thinking of Sky Ranch Airport which was started by 3 Tuskegee Airmen after WWll. It was at the northwest corner of Almeda Genoa and now Hwy. 288. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at the northwest corner of Almeda Genoa and now Hwy. 288.It was Linda Sue I was thinking about. I'd heard about Sky Ranch Airport, but I never knew it was started by some Tuskegee Airmen. I'm always learning something new. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Interesting...looks like it was located about where the pipe yard is now, just across the South Loop from my neighborhood. Current aerials don't show any sign of a landing strip.If it was paved (or even gravel), I wonder if it became part of either the South Loop or the pipe yard?Anyone know of a website for historic aerials?

This one is great, with several subsections about the Houston area. Sky Ranch is listed, Linda Sue is not.http://www.airfields-freeman.com/TX/Airfields_TX.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLWM8609 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm confused. Were Linda Sue & Sky Ranch two different Airports? or one and the same? Yes, they were two different airports. Linda Sue was about 3-4 miles north of Sky Ranch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
