The Abernathy Municipal Airport (FAA LID: F83) is a general-aviation airport that is located 4 miles east of Abernathy, Texas. The airport is currently (as of September 2009) owned and operated by the city of Abernathy, Texas. History
The Abernathy Municipal Airport was built during World War II and opened in November 1943 as Abernathy Auxiliary Field by the United States Army Air Forces as a auxiliary field for nearby Lubbock Army Air Field and South Plains Army Air Field. The field was initially built for use by Lubbock Army Air Field, but following the activation of South Plains Army Air Field, was assigned to that base. In 1944 after the conclusion of training operations at South Plains Army Air Field, Abernathy reverted to Lubbock Army Air Field for the duration of the war. At the end of WWII, The United States military maintained over 5,600 bases stateside and around the world. The field was declared surplus and released to the War Assets Administration for disposal. The field was given to the City of Abernanthy for use as a civil airport.
