Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was officially closed sometime between 2000 and 2004. It was last listed as active in the 2000 AOPA Airports USA Directory but was no longer depicted on the 2004 Wichita Sectional Aeronautical Chart.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. However, as a small, privately owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to personal reasons of the owner (listed as W. Yeamans). Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement from flying, sale of the property, or the owner's passing. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to an accident, regulatory action, or economic failure.

Current Status

The site is currently a private residential property. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the well-preserved outline of the former turf runway, which is now maintained as a large, mowed grass lawn or private drive. A building that appears to be the original hangar still stands at the north end of the property, adjacent to a private residence. The land is used for residential and agricultural purposes, and the airfield infrastructure is no longer in official use.

Historical Significance

Yeamans Fox Nest Airport (formerly bearing the FAA Location Identifier 7KS2) was a private general aviation airfield. It was established between 1970 and 1976 and primarily served the recreational flying needs of its owner. The airport featured a single north-south turf runway with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft typical of private, personal use. The identifier US-10550 is a non-official designation used in some third-party databases for small or closed airfields.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or official prospects for reopening the airport as a public or charted facility. Since the land is privately owned, any potential future use for aviation would be at the sole discretion of the current landowner for their own private purposes. The likelihood of it reopening as a public-use airport is virtually zero.
