The airport closed sometime between 1991 and 1993. It was depicted on the 1991 Kansas City Sectional Chart but was no longer present on the 1993 edition of the chart.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airfield, the most likely reason is cessation of private use. This could be due to the owner selling the property, no longer operating aircraft, or finding the cost and effort of maintenance prohibitive. There is no evidence of military conversion, a major accident, or economic failure in a commercial sense.
The site has reverted to private agricultural land. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former grass runway integrated into a larger farm field. While the strip of land is still visible as a mowed area, it is no longer maintained, marked, or used as an active airfield. The property includes farm buildings adjacent to the former runway site.
Dunn Field was a small, private general aviation airfield with limited historical significance. It served its private owner(s) for personal, recreational, or possibly agricultural aviation. When active, it consisted of a single unpaved, north/south turf runway, listed in the 1982 AOPA Airports USA Directory as being 2,600 feet long. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft such as Cessnas or Pipers. The ICAO code 'US-10347' is a non-official identifier used by some databases to catalog airfields that lack official FAA or ICAO codes.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Dunn Field. Given that it has been closed for over three decades and the land is actively used for agriculture, any prospect of reopening is extremely unlikely and would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current private landowner.
