Established in 1928.

El Paso, TX, Date Unknown

El Paso's abandoned airports are available to view here. Our interest is in the El Paso Municipal Airport at the top of that link. This would be the airfield that most of our civilian pilots headed for after itrs establishment in 1928. Most military fliers headed for Biggs Field.

If you scroll down to the fifth image on that page, the 1936 aerial photo, you will be able to align the round water reservoir and building of the El Paso Water Works in that image with the ones above. Interestingly, if you magnifiy the image at the link, you can make out the white roof and shadows of the smoke stacks on the buildings. You can also see to the left of the tank what appears to be a high-wing monoplane on final approach to the runway casting its shadow on the ground ahead of itself. The other two buildings have writing on their roofs, but it's not legible.
