Quad State Helicopter Heliport

The heliport's closure was a direct result of the voluntary dissolution of its parent company, Quad-State Helicopter, Inc. This was a business/economic decision, not due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site is now a private property and is no longer used for aviation. Satellite imagery shows that the physical infrastructure, including the hangar and concrete landing pad, still exists at the location (401 E Connecticut St, King City, MO). However, the property appears to be used for residential and private storage/workshop purposes, with no active helicopter operations.

Quad State Helicopter Heliport was a private-use facility and not open to the public. Its sole purpose was to serve as the operational base for Quad-State Helicopter, Inc. The company specialized in agricultural aviation services, such as aerial application (crop dusting, spraying, and seeding) for farms in the surrounding region. Its name suggests it served clients in the 'Quad-State' area of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. The heliport was significant on a local and regional level, supporting the agricultural industry which is vital to the area's economy.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. As it was a private facility intrinsically linked to a company that no longer exists, its reactivation is highly unlikely. A new owner would need to purchase the property and undergo the full process of establishing and certifying a new heliport with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
