Majors Airport is a city-owned airport 4nmi southeast of the central business district of Greenville, in Hunt County, Texas.
Originally named Majors Field, it is home to L3Harris Mission Integration Division (MID), which performs aircraft modification.
Majors Airport, named for Lieutenant Truett Majors, the first Hunt County native to perish in World War II, began operations on June 26, 1942, as a training center for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). Lt Majors was killed in the 1942 Battle of the Philippines in January 1942. Greenville was chosen as a site for the USAAF basic flight-training center due to the efforts of the influential politician Sam Rayburn. The base was dedicated and named on 5 January 1943.
Majors Army Airfield (AAF) was assigned initially to the Gulf Coast Training Center (later Central Flying Command). The airport was at one point the home to approximately 5,000 pilots, support personnel, and civilian employees. Majors also was a major training base for Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)s. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. Also several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks were assigned to the field. In addition to training USAAF pilots, the airfield was the training site for Escuadrón 201 of the Mexican Air Force. The training center was reassigned to Second Air Force on 30 November 1944 as a group training center, primary for the assignment of replacement personnel to combat squadrons in overseas theaters.
Majors AAF was inactivated on 18 July 1945 after the defeat of Germany; the city of Greenville then took ownership, then leased the site to TEMCO (which, after a series of acquisitions, became L-3 Mission Integration Division).
The airport had airline flights (Central DC-3s) for a year or two around 1952.
Majors Airport covers 1525acres at an elevation of 535 feet (163 m). Its one runway, 17/35, is 8,030 by 150 feet (2,448 x 46 m) asphalt.
In the year ending 23 June 2016, the airport had 19,135 aircraft operations, averaging 52 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% military. 42 aircraft were then based at the airport: 86% single-engine, 5% multi-engine, 7% jets, and 2% helicopters.
