By 1976, the runway at Green Acres Airport had been paved, as the 1976 Pilot's Guide to CA Airports depicted the field as having a 2,300' paved Runway 12/30 (with a 500' overrun at the northwest end). A total of five hangars were situated on the north side of the east end of the runway, at which was located Kaweah Dusters & Arnold's Aerodrome.
Another Visalian recalled of Green Acres starting in 1983, “I remember seeing only crop dusters, and Jeff Davis’ beautiful T-6 Texan, flying out of there. The tall trees from the Visalia Country Club golf course (right across the street from this cache), which line that stretch of Goshen Avenue, were quite an obstacle on approach. It seemed that the airplanes just skimmed over the tree line.”
From 1985-2001, Kaweah Crop Dusters conducted an environmental clean-up of DDT & other hazardous materials at the Green Acres Airport.
Green Acres was apparently closed (for reasons unknown) at some point between 1989-94, as by the time of this 1994 USGS aerial photo, the former runway had been removed, with the area returned to farming. Only a faint trace of the former Runway 12/30 could still be recognized in the agricultural field. There was also no trace remaining of any buildings at the site.
Another Visalian's recollection of Green Acres Airport demolition:
“When they tore the airport down, crops of carrots were grown on the property & destroyed, year after year, since carrots absorb toxins in the ground. This was necessary because of pesticide tanks that leaked over time from the crop dusting outfits operating there. (I know rabbits run wild in that area, and wondered how many 'croaked' if they got a hold of some. Fortunately, our local newspaper never reported any giant, mutated rabbits either…)”
Charles Irvin reported in 2007, “Green Acres Airport... as of a year or two ago, it's all tract homes, and the empty field is no more.”
