The April 1944 Charlotte Sectional Chart depicted Lee County Airport as a commercial or municipal field. The April 1944 US Army/Navy Directory of Airfields described Lee County Airport as having a 1,900' unpaved runway. It was located on the southeast side of town. The original Lee County Airport was evidently closed at some point between 1950-53, as it was no longer depicted on the 1953 USGS topo map. It was located southeast of the intersection of the current Nash Street and Bragg Street. |

aka Sanford-Lee County Brick Airport. The 1962 Charlotte Sectional Chart depicted Sanford as having a 3,500' unpaved runway. The 1967 Flight Guide depicted the field as having a single 3,500' paved Runway 3/21. The 1999 Charlotte Sectional Chart depicted Sanford-Lee County Brick Airport as having a 4,300' paved runway. Sanford-Lee County Brick Airport closed in 2000 when the larger Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County Airport airport was opened on the northeast side of Sanford in 1999 (see above). The primary reason for the replacement of this airfield was the inability to obtain a precision instrument approach, due to the proximity of railroad tracks to the runway. |
