This is an aerial photo of Bell Airfield (XS56) located just South of Raymondville, TX in the lower Rio Grande Valley (Tropical Texas). I have just built a new hangar which can be seen in the center. I plan to build an adjacent home. The airfield is less than a quarter mile from the city golf course.I have a 1946 Stinson 108 and a 1965 Mooney M20C. The runways are 3000 ft. E-W and 2600 ft. NW-SE Others who have an interest in a project such as this should contact me at the e-mail address below.

Hangar and Stinson just after construction in April 2001.
