Maverick County Memorial International Airport (IATA: EGP, FAA LID: 5T9) is a county-owned public use airport in Maverick County, Texas, United States. It is located eight nautical miles (15 km) north of the central business district of Eagle Pass, Texas. History
The airport was opened in July 1943 as Eagle Pass Army Airfield and was used by the United States Army Air Forces as an advanced single engine flying school. In November 1944, the training at the base was changed to a basic flying school. All flight training at the field was discontinued in April 1945, with the airfield being determined to be excess by the military and turned over to the local government for civil use.
Eagle Pass Air Force Station was built in the 1950s on the former Eagle Pass AAF cantonment area. It was a long-range radar site. The 733rd AC&W Squadron began operating an AN/FPS-20A search radar and an AN/FPS-6 height-finder radar at this site in 1959. Eagle Pass AFS ceased operations in 1963. The airfield was abandoned and the Air Force housing was turned over to Maverick county.
Eagle Pass airfield was reopened under the name of "Laughlin AF Aux #1" in 1962 for touch & go landings by T-37 training aircraft based at Laughlin AFB. In 1991 a replacement airfield was built in nearby Spofford, and Eagle Pass was closed.
At some point between 1991–94, after the closure of this field by the Air Force, it was apparently operated as a private airfield, named "Bowles".
