Kingdom Field

The closure was due to a change in land use. As a privately owned airfield, its operation was dependent on the owner. The property was repurposed for agricultural and other private use, a common fate for small, private airstrips when the owner sells the land, ceases flying activities, or passes away. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident, military conversion, or external economic pressure.

The site is now used for agriculture. The former turf runway is no longer distinguishable and has been fully integrated into a larger cultivated field, likely for growing crops such as corn or soy. Several large agricultural or light-industrial buildings now stand on the western portion of the property where the hangar and operational area were once located. The land is private property and is not accessible to the public.

Kingdom Field was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving its owner, Richard Tesoriero, and potentially other local pilots for recreational flying. It was not a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled flights. The facility consisted of a single north/south turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet in length, and at least one small hangar. It primarily supported light, single-engine aircraft. The airfield was depicted on the 1985 USGS topographical map as a 'Landing Strip' but was not consistently shown on aeronautical charts, highlighting its private, low-traffic nature.

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Kingdom Field as an airport. The land has been completely converted for agricultural use, and permanent structures have been built on the site. Re-establishing an airfield would be prohibitively expensive and impractical, requiring the acquisition of the private land, demolition of existing buildings, and complete reconstruction of all aviation facilities.
