Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2012 and 2016. The airport was privately owned and its deactivation was not widely publicized. FAA records and historical aeronautical charts show it as active until the early 2010s and then listed as 'Closed Indefinitely' by the mid-2010s.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons related to the owner's business. The airport was owned and operated by 'Mike's Ag-Air Inc.', a private agricultural aviation company. The closure coincided with the business entity, 'Mike's Ag-Air, Inc.', becoming inactive according to Florida state corporation records. The airport was not converted for military use or closed due to a specific accident, but rather ceased operations when the associated business stopped functioning.

Current Status

The site has been reverted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint outline of the former north-south turf runway, but the land is now overgrown and appears to be used as pasture or farmland. The hangars and support buildings associated with the airstrip may still exist on the property, but there is no indication of any ongoing aviation activity. The land is privately owned and not accessible to the public.

Historical Significance

The airport served a specific and vital role for the local agricultural community in and around Walnut Hill, Florida. Its primary function was to support aerial application, commonly known as crop dusting. Aircraft operating from this strip would have been used to spray fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides on surrounding farmland. The airport featured a single turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 2,600 by 100 feet. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base of operations for the private company that owned it and providing essential services to area farms.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Mike's Ag Air Airport. As a privately owned facility tied to a now-defunct business, any reopening would require a new owner to purchase the land, invest in restoring the runway and facilities to meet FAA standards, and have a specific business or private need for an airstrip at that location. Given that the land has been integrated back into agricultural use, a revival of the airport is considered highly unlikely.
