We are in the process of reopening the Rives Airpark in Royce City Texas. We hope to have it back in business by the end of 2015. We plan to have a newly paved runway 2800'X40", fuel and T hangers available at that time. Our goal is to make this into a fly in community that will also be open to the public.
To raise revenue for this venture, we will be pre-selling some of the lots at a discounted price. Once the survey is finished I will have more information on this.
My 2013/14 Airport Guide shows for Royse City-Rives Air Park (T33) 9 miles S of Royse City, TX a valid airport with Runways 04/22 2800 x 40 paved-poor condition. When did it close?
It has been out of service for several years now. A fly over will show that the runway is covered with weeds and dirt. I have a soft spot for small airports and hope to have this one back up and running by the end of the year.
How would I contact the Airport Manager (name, phone, e-mail)?
You are welcome to contact me , if you would like. My name is Mark Cline. You can reach me at 972-741-1779. Email mark@ganderlock.com.
Due to the weather, we are not making nearly the progress we had hoped. At this point, we are hoping to be up by the end of March.
