Circa 2005-2006. While the exact date is not documented in public records, analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the airport's hangar was removed between 2005 and 2006. The airport was no longer listed in FAA publications by 2013, indicating it was officially closed during this period.
Cessation of private use by the owner. Millertime Airport was a private airfield, owned and operated by an individual (David Miller). The removal of the hangar and the return of the land to agricultural use strongly indicate the closure was a personal decision by the owner, likely due to retirement, sale of the property, or no longer having a need for a private airstrip. This is a common reason for the closure of small, private airfields and not due to military conversion, a major accident, or public economic factors.
The site has been fully converted back to agricultural land. The hangar and any other airport-specific infrastructure have been removed. The former runway area is now part of a cultivated farm field. A very faint outline of the former runway can still be discerned in satellite imagery, but the land is actively farmed and there are no physical remnants of the airport.
Millertime Airport (formerly bearing the FAA Location Identifier OI32) had no major national or regional historical significance. It was a modern, private general aviation facility. Its primary function was to serve the personal aviation needs of its owner.
Key details of its operational period include:
- **Establishment:** The airport was established sometime between 1981 and 1994.
- **Facilities:** It consisted of a single, well-maintained turf runway, oriented approximately NW/SE (Runway 14/32), with a length of about 2,600 feet. A single hangar was located at the southeast end of the runway.
- **Operations:** The airport supported private, light, single-engine aircraft for recreational or personal travel. It was not open for public use and did not handle commercial or military traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Millertime Airport. The land is privately owned and has been repurposed for agriculture for over a decade. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant investment and a new certification process, which is considered extremely unlikely.
