Casey's Airport

The exact reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to personal or economic reasons of the owner, Donald Casey. This could include retirement, sale of the property, or the rising costs and liability of operating an airfield. The subsequent conversion of the land to agriculture points to a planned cessation of aviation activities rather than a closure forced by an accident or regulatory action.

The site of the former airport has been fully converted into agricultural land. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows cultivated fields where the runway once existed. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still slightly visible due to differences in soil and vegetation, but all airport infrastructure, including any potential hangars or markings, has been removed. The land is now part of an active farm.

Casey's Airport was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. Established sometime between 1979 and 1981, it served as a classic example of a personal 'farm strip'. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway (oriented approximately North/South) with a length of about 2,200 feet. Its operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft suitable for short, unpaved surfaces, such as Piper Cubs or Cessnas. The airport's significance was purely local, serving the owner and likely a small number of other recreational pilots in the area. It had no commercial, transport, or military role.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Casey's Airport. The land is privately owned and has been completely repurposed for farming. Re-establishing an airport on this site would be prohibitively expensive and legally complex, requiring the land to be acquired and re-certified for aviation use. Given the existence of other general aviation airports in the region, such as Perry-Warsaw Airport (K01), there is no practical demand or likelihood for its reactivation.
