Vliet Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. Like many small, privately-owned airports from that era, its closure was likely due to a combination of factors including economic non-viability, rising property values making the land more valuable for development, and increasing suburban encroachment.

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped into a residential housing community called 'Washington's Crossing'. In a clear tribute to the land's previous use, many of the streets within the development have aviation-themed names, such as Wright Way, Earhart Court, Kitty Hawk, and Bi-Plane Boulevard.

Vliet Airport was a small general aviation airfield located in Washington Township, Warren County, New Jersey (not Washington state, as the coordinates confirm). Established sometime between 1946 and 1950, it was later renamed Warren County Airport. It served the local community's private pilots for over three decades, featuring a single unpaved turf runway and several hangars for light aircraft. It was a typical post-war local airport supporting recreational flying and general aviation activities.

None. The land has been permanently and densely repurposed for residential use, making any prospect of reopening as an airport impossible.
