Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The heliport was officially listed as 'Closed Indefinitely' in FAA records prior to 2010. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the helipad markings, which were visible in 1996 and faded by 2004, were completely gone by 2008. This suggests the heliport ceased operations and was physically removed sometime between 2004 and 2008.

Reason for Closure

The heliport was privately owned and operated by Fabick Bros. Equipment Co. (now Fabick Cat). While no single official reason was publicly announced, the closure was almost certainly due to internal business decisions. Common reasons for the closure of such private corporate facilities include changes in corporate transportation strategy, the sale of the company's helicopter, or economic factors making helicopter operations no longer cost-effective.

Current Status

The site is an active commercial property, serving as the Fabick Cat dealership in Sikeston. The exact coordinates of the former heliport now point to a paved lot on the company's property, which is used for vehicle parking and staging heavy equipment. There are no remaining physical markings or infrastructure of the heliport.

Historical Significance

The heliport held no broad public or historical significance as it was a private-use facility. Its purpose was to support the business operations of the Fabick Cat heavy equipment dealership. Operations would have consisted of corporate helicopters transporting executives, key personnel, or high-priority small parts. This allowed for rapid travel between the Sikeston branch, the company's headquarters in Fenton, MO (which had a similar heliport, 'Fabick One Heliport', US-10328), client sites, and regional airports, which was advantageous in a largely rural area.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fabick Two Heliport. Since the physical helipad has been removed for over 15 years and its existence was tied to a specific corporate need that has evidently changed, the likelihood of it being re-established is extremely low to none.
