Tallassee Airport
Tallassee Airport is a closed airport located 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Tallassee, Alabama, United States.
History
The airport was built about 1941 as one of two satellite airfields to the Army pilot school at Tuskegee Army Airfield. It was designated Griel Army Auxiliary Airfield #1 and was named after the original landowner. Griel Field was not yet built when its parent field (Tuskegee AAF) commenced training operations The field was said to not have any hangars and was apparently unmanned unless necessary for aircraft recovery.
After the war the airfield reverted to private ownership and became Tallassee Airport. Not much is known about the airport, which was closed sometime during the 1970s.
Today, the airfield appears to be part of a light industrial estate. The remains of the runway are clearly visible in aerial photography.
