David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport covers an area of 480 acres (190 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 17R/35L measuring 7,009 x 100 ft (2,136 x 30 m).

[1] For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022, the airport had 152,198 aircraft operations, an average of 417 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi, <1% commercial, and <1% military.

[citation needed] However, as of March 2012, citing safety concerns from pilots, barbed wire fencing went up around the airport, sealing off the previously popular observation areas and leaving only the inside of Aviator's Grill as the sole observation area for the public.

His hobby eventually became a business, and he subsequently built a runway and a main terminal building.

Shortly after its opening, Hooks' son, David, was killed in the crash of a small plane that he was piloting under the supervision of a flight instructor.

'Texas Raiders' used Hooks Airport as her base of operations for the 2010 air show season and several years afterward.

The heavy bomber relocated again in March 2017 to General Aviation Services at Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport in Conroe, Texas.
