Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 1994 and 2002. The airport was still depicted on the St. Louis Sectional Chart in 1994 but was no longer shown on the 2002 chart. The FAA database lists its status as 'Closed Indefinitely'.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small private airfields. However, the closure is most likely due to economic factors or the owner's personal decision to cease operations. As a private turf strip associated with a farm (Kamm's Inc.), reasons often include the owner's retirement, death, or the land being repurposed for more profitable agricultural use. There is no evidence of military conversion or a specific accident leading to its closure.

Current Status

The site is currently used for agriculture. Satellite imagery clearly shows that the land where the turf runway was located has been fully converted into a cultivated farm field. While the faint outline of the former runway is still visible from the air, it is no longer maintained as an airstrip. The associated farm buildings, including a house and silos, remain on the property to the east of the former runway.

Historical Significance

Kamm Airport was a small, privately owned airfield with the former FAA identifier 1LL2. It was not a major commercial or military facility. Established in the early 1970s, it featured a single north-south turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long. The airport was owned by 'Kamm's Inc.' and likely served as a private farm strip for personal and business-related general aviation flights, and potentially for agricultural aviation purposes like crop dusting. Its significance was primarily local, providing a private landing area for its owners and associates.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Kamm Airport. The land has been reintegrated into active farmland, and the airport has been officially closed for over two decades. Re-establishing it as an active airfield would require significant investment and recertification, making it highly improbable.
