Exploring Abandoned WW2 Airbase on Matagorda Island, Texas (Mavic Pro 4K)

Matagorda Island Air Force Base is a closed military airfield on the north end of Matagorda Island, northeast of Corpus Christi, Texas. It was closed by the United States Air Force in 1975.
The original airfield was built in 1942 as Matagorda Island General Bombing and Gunnery Range.
The range had four Single-Engine Gunnery Squadrons assigned, flying the North American T-6 Texan.
The facility was closed on 3 February 1945, and placed in a standby status.
During the Cold War, in 1949, the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command reactivated the range and refurbished the runways. Runway 03/21 was extended to 8,000' to accommodate jet fighters, along with SAC B-29 and B-50 Superfortress bombers.
The base was inactivated in 1975 after the end of United States involvement in Vietnam. The property was subsequently turned over to the Department of the Interior as a federal wildlife refuge.
Today, the runways and taxiways, although infested with vegetation, are in very good condition. There are several structures, hangars, and buildings of various types in various stages of deterioration. Also there is a usable dock and a small port facility (Source: Wikipedia).
