It was used as an advanced twin-engine flying school and glider training.^[3] With the end of World War II, Stuttgart Army Airfield was declared excess and closed on 5 August 1946.^[3] It was conveyed though the War Assets Administration (WAA) to the City of Stuttgart to establish a municipal airport.^[3]

Trans-Texas DC-3s stopped at Stuttgart from 1953 to 1958–59.
