Coulter Field (IATA: CFD, ICAO: KCFD, FAA LID: CFD) is a public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Bryan, in Brazos County, Texas, United States. It is owned by the City of Bryan which is part of the Bryan-College Station area. The airport is used entirely for general aviation. History
Coulter Field has a long history with sport parachuting. With intentional parachute jumps having been conducted since the mid-1950s, skydiving at Coulter Field has continued through today. Ags Over Texas (AOT) was the home of the Texas A&M University skydiving team until its closure in 1999. In March 2002, Skydive Aggieland opened and is the current home of the Texas A&M University skydiving club. Texas Governor Rick Perry completed a successful static-line skydive at AOT while he was attending Texas A&M University in the 1970s and former President George H. W. Bush (41) completed a tandem skydive at Coulter Field in cooperation with Skydive Aggieland and the Golden Knights a day prior to completing his last jump at his Presidential Library on Texas A&M University main campus.
