Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was officially noted as closed in FAA records by 2021. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airfield likely ceased active operations and fell into disuse sometime in the mid-to-late 2010s. A 1994 aerial photograph shows a well-maintained strip, while a 2017 photo shows it becoming overgrown, and a 2019 photo shows a new track crossing the runway.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private facility, and its closure is attributed to the owner no longer needing or maintaining the airfield, a common reason for the shuttering of private airstrips. It was originally associated with a local trucking company, Johnson Farm Lines, Inc. While the company was officially dissolved in 1987, the airfield remained usable for many years, suggesting it was maintained privately. The eventual closure was due to a lack of use and upkeep, not due to a specific accident, economic downturn, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site is currently private property. Recent satellite imagery shows the clear outline of the former turf runway, but it is overgrown with grass and unmaintained. The land appears to be used as pasture or general agricultural land. A dirt track now crosses the southern portion of the former runway, making it unusable for any aviation purposes. The buildings to the east of the strip, which may have included a hangar, appear to be in use as farm or residential structures.

Historical Significance

Johnson Farm Lines Airport was a private, unpaved landing strip serving the corporate and personal aviation needs of its owners. Its primary significance is as a well-preserved example of the numerous private airfields established in the mid-to-late 20th century, which allowed businesses and individuals in rural areas direct access to air travel. When active, it featured a single north-south turf runway, listed in the 1982 AOPA Airports USA Directory as being 3,000 feet long. It would have handled private general aviation aircraft, such as single-engine or light twin-engine planes. The identifier 'US-0014' is not an official ICAO code but a non-governmental database identifier sometimes assigned to private fields.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Johnson Farm Lines Airport. As a privately owned strip that has been inactive for several years and has obstructions, reopening is extremely unlikely. Furthermore, the public-use Clarksville Municipal Airport (KH35), which offers a paved runway and aviation services, is located just a few miles away, negating any practical demand for this private strip to be reactivated.
