Curtis Field (IATA: BBD, ICAO: KBBD, FAA LID: BBD) is a city-owned airport three miles northeast of Brady, in McCulloch County, Texas.[1] The airport is named for Mayor Harry L. Curtis of Brady, who proposed the site as an auxiliary field for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).[2] The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 calls it a general aviation facility.[3]
