Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Unknown, but prior to 2015. The airport's existence is not officially documented in FAA or ICAO records. The land it was reportedly on was undeveloped until approximately 2015, when construction began on a housing development.

Reason for Closure

The site was redeveloped for residential use. If a private airstrip existed, it was removed to make way for the construction of the Highpointe Ranch housing subdivision.

Current Status

The site has been fully redeveloped into a residential housing subdivision called 'The Vistas at Highpointe Ranch'. The provided coordinates (44.202202, -103.079002) fall within this neighborhood, near a street coincidentally named 'Running Colors Loop'. There are no remaining traces of any aviation infrastructure.

Historical Significance

There is no official record of 'Running Colors Airport'. Its designation, US-10088, originates from a non-governmental, user-contributed aviation database. Historical satellite imagery does not show a well-defined or formal airfield at this location. If it existed, it was likely an unofficial and private grass or dirt landing strip used for personal recreational flying, with no known commercial, military, or significant general aviation operations.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. The land is now occupied by permanent homes, streets, and suburban infrastructure, making it impossible for the site to be converted back into an airport.
