The airport was closed sometime between 1993 and 2004. It was last depicted on the 1993 Washington Sectional Chart as a private airfield and was no longer shown on the 2004 edition of the chart.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airfield, it was most likely closed for private or economic reasons, such as the owner selling the land, the high cost of maintenance and liability, or a lack of use. There is no evidence of closure due to military conversion or a major accident.
The site is now private land and is no longer recognizable as an airport from the ground. Satellite imagery shows the property has reverted to a field, though the faint, straight outline of the former runway is still visible as a cleared path through the trees. The land appears to be used for agriculture or is simply fallow.
Toga Airport (FAA LID: W93) was a private general aviation airfield established between 1968 and 1972. It primarily served local private pilots for recreational flying. Records from 1982 describe it as having a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway, designated Runway 4/22. It was a modest facility, typical of many small, private strips that supported the general aviation community in rural America during that era.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Toga Airport. The land is privately owned, and the airfield has been defunct and overgrown for more than two decades, making any potential reactivation extremely unlikely and cost-prohibitive.
