Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date of closure is not officially documented, as is common for small, private airfields. However, based on historical satellite imagery and aeronautical chart history, the airport was confirmed active in 1995 with an aircraft visible on the field. It was likely closed to aviation use sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s when it stopped appearing on official charts.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private-use airfield associated with a residential property. Closures of such strips are typically not due to conventional economic reasons or accidents but rather a change in the property owner's circumstances. The most probable reasons for closure include the owner ceasing their flying activities, selling the property to a non-aviator, or the owner passing away. There is no evidence of military conversion or a specific incident leading to its closure.

Current Status

The site is currently a private residential property. The former turf runway is still perfectly visible on satellite imagery and appears to be well-maintained as a large, mowed lawn or field. However, it is no longer charted or used as an active airfield. The buildings that once served as a residence and possible hangar remain on the property.

Historical Significance

Cedar Lane Airport had no major historical significance in a public or military context. Its importance was as a private, residential general aviation airfield. It featured a single, well-maintained turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet in length, running in a NW/SE direction. Operations would have consisted exclusively of light, single-engine aircraft used by the property owner for personal and recreational flying. It is a good example of a private 'fly-in' residential property common in rural areas of the United States.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Cedar Lane Airport. As the land is privately owned, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current or a future owner having an interest in aviation and taking the necessary steps to reactivate the airfield. Given its status as private property, this is considered highly unlikely.
