About Logan Field Municipal Airport
Logan Field Municipal Airport serves Samson in Geneva County, Alabama. Named in honor of a local aviation figure, Logan Field is a small municipal airport that provides general aviation access to the Samson community in the wiregrass region of southeastern Alabama. Samson is a small city in Geneva County's agricultural landscape, and the municipal airport supports local pilots, agricultural aviation operations, and occasional visitors to this rural community. The airport operates under FAA Southern Region oversight and is registered with the Alabama Department of Transportation Aeronautics Bureau.
The airport serves light general aviation aircraft typical of wiregrass Alabama community airports, providing basic services for pilots based in or transiting through Geneva County. Samson's agricultural character — surrounding farms grow peanuts, cotton, and vegetables — means periodic crop-related aviation activity supplements the airport's general GA traffic. Pilots visiting Logan Field should call ahead to confirm fuel and service availability, particularly for afternoon or weekend arrivals when smaller airports may have reduced staffing.
Is Logan Field Municipal Airport open to the public?
Yes, Logan Field Municipal Airport is a public-use general aviation airport. All pilots may land without prior permission, using standard CTAF procedures in the uncontrolled traffic pattern.
Who is Logan Field named after?

Logan Field Municipal Airport — Samson and Geneva County
Logan Field Municipal Airport serves the Samson area of Geneva County alongside Geneva Municipal Airport in the county seat, giving Geneva County's pilot community two public landing options in a rural county that most similarly-sized counties can barely support with one. The dual-airport arrangement reflects Geneva County's historical aviation engagement, where flat wiregrass terrain and an agricultural economy that benefits from aerial services have fostered airfield development beyond what population size alone would suggest.
Freedom Airport (AL41) near Slocomb rounds out Geneva County's aviation inventory as a private option. Dothan Regional Airport (DHN) in Houston County to the north is the region's commercial aviation hub, providing airline connections, a full FBO, and comprehensive pilot services. The Alabama Department of Transportation Aeronautics Bureau's rural airport system support for Geneva County facilities like Logan Field recognizes that even small GA airports in Alabama's most remote counties serve vital connectivity and emergency response functions for communities that would otherwise be entirely dependent on long highway drives for aviation access.
