Weiser Airpark
airport in Texas, United States of America
Weiser Airpark (ICAO: KEYQ, FAA LID: EYQ) (spelled Weiser Air Park in some sources) 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 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi) northwest of the central business district of Houston. The airport closed permanently in 2019.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Weiser Airpark was assigned EYQ by the FAA but had no designation from the IATA.

History
The original grass airstrip opened between 1945 and 1947 as the F.H. Jackson Airport, and was purchased by brothers Robert and Cecil Weiser in 1951. In 1963, the brothers built ten hangars on the property and renamed it Weiser Airpark. In 1964, they added another twenty hangars and fenced the site to keep wandering cattle out.

Why this record matters

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
