[edit] Comment

Around 8 years ago, AirNav indicated that the field had reopened as a private airport. As I recall it was called something like "Dallas Millennium Airport", and that "Millennium" was incorrectly spelled. Presumably the airport closed before long, and now there's no record of it on AirNav. Currently AirNav gives this location as "Redmond Taylor Army Heliport" (TX18) [1]. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I just found a little more information: "As of 2002, although still publicly owned, the former NAS Dallas airfield was operated by a private company as 'Millennium Dallas Airport'.… At some point between 2002-03, the attempt to reuse the former NAS Dallas as a business aviation airfield ('Millenium Dallas Airport') apparently failed, as the airfield was closed once again, and depicted on the 2003 Sectional Chart as an abandoned airfield."[2]. The airport code was 7TX2, but this is currently for an airport near Austin [3]. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

The reason the field failed as a commercial venture was becuase the City of Dallas could not afford the environmental clean-up, and returned the field to the U.S. Government. 76.186.118.246 (talk) 06:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
