Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2015-2016. The airport, officially known as Pegasus Airpark (former FAA identifier: 5GA1), was delisted from FAA publications and charts around this period. The identifier US-10197 is a non-official code used by some third-party databases, often assigned after an airport is closed and removed from official records.

Reason for Closure

The airport was closed following a vote by the Pegasus Property Owners' Association (HOA). As a private residential airpark, the decision was made by the homeowners themselves. The closure was reportedly due to a combination of factors including the high cost of runway maintenance and insurance, significant liability concerns, and a declining number of active pilots within the community relative to non-pilot residents.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed to all air traffic. The physical runway still exists but has been fully repurposed as the main residential road for the subdivision, now named 'Pegasus Parkway'. It is used for regular vehicular traffic and recreational activities (walking, biking, etc.) by the community's residents. Satellite imagery shows homes with driveways connecting directly to the former runway, and no remaining aviation markings or infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Pegasus Airpark was a private, residential 'fly-in' community established in the early 1980s. Its purpose was to serve its residents, allowing pilots to house their personal aircraft in hangars at their homes and use a shared, 3,000-foot paved runway for general aviation operations. It was a prime example of an airpark lifestyle, catering to aviation enthusiasts who wanted to integrate their passion for flying directly with their home life. The airport exclusively handled private, non-commercial flights for its residents.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Reopening is considered extremely unlikely, as it would require a new, successful vote by the homeowners' association to reverse the original decision. Furthermore, it would necessitate significant capital investment to restore the pavement to aviation standards, re-certify the airport, and resolve the fundamental liability and maintenance cost issues that led to its closure in the first place.
