The airport was closed sometime between 1994 and 2004. Aerial photography from 1994 shows the airfield as active with a clear runway and a hangar. By 2004, aerial imagery confirms the hangar had been removed and the runway area was being actively farmed.
The exact reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to economic factors or a change in ownership. The owner may have ceased flying activities, sold the property, or passed away. The conversion of the land back to profitable agricultural use is the most probable direct cause.
The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land is part of a larger cultivated field, with no remaining traces of the runway, hangar, or any other airport infrastructure. The land is actively farmed.
Alge Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its earliest known depiction is on a 1960 USGS topographical map. It consisted of a single unpaved, north/south turf runway approximately 2,200 feet in length, with a small hangar on the west side of the field. It was not listed on most major aeronautical charts, indicating its use was strictly private and not for public transit. Its operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft for personal, recreational, or potentially agricultural purposes by the owner. The identifier 'US-10421' is not an official ICAO code but an internal designation from a non-governmental airport database.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Alge Airport. The complete removal of all infrastructure and the full integration of the land into surrounding farmland make the prospect of re-establishing an airport at this location extremely unlikely and economically unfeasible.
