Hyde Field is one of the "Maryland 3" airports located within the Washington, D.C. Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ), so it is subject to the Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) restrictions imposed by the FAA after the September 11 attacks.
It is located just 1.10 nautical miles (1.27 mi) east of a slightly smaller airport called Potomac Airfield.
History
Hyde opened in 1934 as a training field for United States Army aviators.[1]
Due to the onerous SFRA restrictions leading to declining revenues at the airport, in 2008 there were plans to shut it down and redevelop the land.[2] However, the airport remained open and operational until 2022.
Pending Closure
On October 31st 2022, airport tenants were notified that the field was closing and were given until November 30th 2022 to remove their aircraft and any belongings after which the new owners will repurpose the property for housing development.
Facilities
Washington Executive Airport/Hyde Field covers 140 acres (57 ha) and has one runway:
- Runway 5/23: 3,000 feet (910 m) x 60 feet (18 m), surface: asphalt
