Weisner Field was established in 1917. On July 4, 1917, a Curtis JN-4D, known as a "Jenny" biplane, landed at Weisner Field. It was piloted by a U.S. Army Signal Corps soldier. The airport was called Massengale Meadow at the time.^[3] The airport was used by military aircraft during World War I. In addition, it was home of the Royal Flying Circus in the 1920s.^[3] A number of well-known aviators have flown into Wisener Field. These have included Wiley Post, "Slats" Rogers, Tommy Grace and Fay Lucille Cox. United States Senators Lyndon B. Johnson (later U.S. President), Phil Graham, and Kay Bailey Hutchison have flown into the airport.^[1]

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 17/35, that measures 3,203 ft × 40 ft (976 m × 12 m). It is in poor condition due to rough areas and loose aggregate.^[4]
