Weiser Air Park was a privately owned, public-use airport located on the Northwest Freeway (U.S. Highway 290) in Cypress, an unincorporated area of Harris County, Texas, United States. The airport was northwest of the central business district of Houston

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Weiser Air Park was assigned EYQ by the FAA but had no designation from the IATA.[3]

Facilities and aircraft

Weiser Air Park covered an area of 102acres at an elevation of above mean sea level. It had two runways: 9/27 has a asphalt pavement and 16/34 has a turf surface.

For the 12-month period ending March 3, 2006, the airport had 38,020 aircraft operations, an average of 104 per day: 99.9% general aviation and 0.1% air taxi. At that time there were 75 aircraft based at this airport: 93% single-engine and 7% multi-engine.

History

The Jackson Airport grass strip was purchased by Cecil Weiser in 1951, and renamed Weiser Airpark in 1963. The runway was paved in 1980. Cecil died in Nov. 2017, followed by the sale of the 102 acres.[4]
