Hicks Airfield is located about 12 miles North of downtown Fort Worth, Texas. The airport is growing quickly, destined to become a significant general aviation and business center in north Tarrant County, one of the fastest growing areas in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
Typical days at Hicks Airfield yield single and multi-engine aircraft, home-built planes and Warbirds. If you are interested in plane rides or flight training, they are both available through businesses located at Hicks Airport, or one could watch planes from the local restaurant if they so desired. Aviation with a neighborhood spirit is the main theme at Hicks Airfield!
The center piece of the airfield is the hard-surface runway extending 3760 feet long and 60 feet wide, at an elevation of 855 feet above sea level. The airport is lighted with a rotating beacon tower, and three main north south taxi ways, completely paved.
