Kilpatrick Farm Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, given its nature as a private farm airstrip, the closure was almost certainly due to personal or economic factors. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities due to age or health, the death of the owner, or the rising costs and liability associated with maintaining a private runway. There is no evidence of a specific accident or military conversion leading to its closure.

The site of the former airport has completely reverted to agricultural land. Current satellite imagery shows the area of the former north-south runway is now an open pasture or hay field. While a faint outline of the strip is still visible from the air, it is entirely overgrown, unmaintained, and unsuitable for any aviation operations. The land is part of an active farm.

Kilpatrick Farm Airport held no major historical significance in a national or regional context. It was a private-use turf runway, typical of many rural airfields in the United States. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, serving the personal transportation or agricultural needs of the property owner and possibly invited guests. The aircraft using the strip would have been small, single-engine planes capable of operating from a short grass field.

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening the Kilpatrick Farm Airport. As the land has been fully repurposed for agriculture for many years, re-establishing an airfield would require significant private investment to clear, grade, and certify the runway. The prospect of this happening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
