Carhart Farms Airport

The airport was a private airstrip located on an active farm. The closure was most likely due to a personal decision by the owner. This is a common fate for private farm strips when the owner ceases flying, passes away, or decides the land is more valuable for agriculture. The immediate conversion of the runway back into cropland supports this conclusion, as opposed to reasons like accidents, regulatory action, or sale for development.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The land where the runway was located has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use and is now an active, cultivated crop field, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. There is no remaining aviation infrastructure such as hangars, lighting, or markings. The faint outline of the former runway can sometimes be discerned in aerial or satellite photos due to differences in soil compaction, but the site is functionally just a field.

Carhart Farms Airport (formerly assigned FAA identifier 2WI2) was a private general aviation facility. It consisted of a single turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, oriented in a North/South direction (roughly 18/36). Its operations were limited to private use, likely serving the owners of Carhart Farms for personal transportation, business travel, and recreational flying. It was a characteristic example of the thousands of private farm airstrips established across the United States in the mid-to-late 20th century, providing direct aviation access to rural properties.

There are no known plans or prospects to reopen the airport. Given that the land has been fully integrated back into farm production by its private owner, the prospect of it being converted back into an airstrip is virtually zero. It is considered permanently defunct.
