Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Estimated between the late 1990s and early 2010s. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a defined airstrip was visible in the mid-1990s. By 2013, a center-pivot irrigation system was installed and operating directly over the former runway location, indicating it had ceased to be an airfield by that time.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons and land repurposing. As a private airstrip, its closure was likely due to the owner no longer having a need for it (e.g., selling the aircraft or the property). The land was subsequently converted to more profitable agricultural use, which is confirmed by the installation of a large-scale irrigation system that now covers the site.

Current Status

The site is currently an active agricultural field. The land where the runway once existed has been completely reclaimed for farming. Modern satellite imagery clearly shows the circular pattern of a center-pivot irrigation system covering the area, and the land is actively cultivated. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure.

Historical Significance

The site was a small, private airstrip, likely a grass or dirt runway, known as Hoesel Airport, presumably named after the family that owned the farm. It held no major historical or public significance and would have been used for personal, recreational, or agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting or private travel). It was never a public-use or commercial airport. The identifier 'US-10571' is not an official ICAO or FAA code but a designation used in some third-party, non-governmental aviation databases to catalogue small, private, or defunct airfields.

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The land has been fully and permanently converted to high-yield agricultural use. Furthermore, the nearby Callaway Municipal Airport (ICAO: KSYF), located just a couple of miles north, adequately serves the general aviation needs of the local community, making the redevelopment of this private strip unnecessary and economically unviable.
