Knot 2 Shabby Airport

The specific reason for the closure is unknown. For small, private airfields like this, closure is typically due to personal reasons of the owner, such as: the owner no longer flying, the sale of the property, prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance, or a change in land use. There is no evidence of closure due to accidents, military conversion, or broader economic factors.

The site is a private residence and the location of a home goods/antique business, also named 'Knot 2 Shabby'. Satellite imagery shows the physical outline of the former runway is still visible as a field, but it is no longer maintained for aviation purposes and appears to be overgrown or used for other agricultural/residential purposes.

The airport had no major historical significance. It was a small, private turf runway (approximately 2,200 feet long) intended for personal, recreational general aviation use by the property owner and possibly invited guests. The name 'Knot 2 Shabby' is a pun, reflecting its informal nature and likely linked to a home business on the property. The ICAO code 'US-10437' is a non-standard identifier used by third-party data aggregators for unverified or decommissioned airfields; it was not an official code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Operations would have been limited to single-engine propeller aircraft.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Any potential for reopening would be entirely at the discretion of the current private landowner and would require significant work to bring the turf runway back to a safe, usable condition.
