TANNER-HILLER
Tanner–Hiller Airport, (ICAO: K8B5, FAA LID: 8B5) in Barre, Massachusetts, was a public airport formerly owned by the G&C Group of Acton, MA, who purchased the field from the Leonard A. Tanner Estate in May 2017. It had one runway, averaged 30 flights per week, and had approximately 25 aircraft and hang gliders based on the field. During the summer months the airport was home to hang gliding operations and extensive ultralight activity. The airport sat adjacent to the Ware River and near to the town of New Braintree. The airport closed on September 18, 2024. The property was acquired by the East Quabbin Land Trust, a Hardwick based land trust, for the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, to help develop the Mass Central Rail Trail.
