Frisch Personal Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented. However, as a private 'personal' airfield located on agricultural land, the closure was almost certainly due to the owner ceasing aviation activities. This is common for private strips and can be attributed to factors such as the owner's retirement from flying, the sale of the aircraft or property, or the costs associated with maintaining a private airstrip. The land was then converted back to its more economically productive agricultural use.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The site at coordinates 45.697201, -96.431395 is now actively cultivated farmland. The faint outline of the former north-south runway can still be discerned in satellite photos as a slight variation in the soil or crops, but all physical aviation infrastructure has been removed. The land is private property.

Frisch Personal Airport was a small, private grass airstrip with local significance only. It served the personal aviation needs of its owner, presumably a member of the local Frisch family, for whom it is named. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine general aviation aircraft for recreational purposes or personal transportation. It is representative of the many private 'farm strips' that were common across rural America during the latter half of the 20th century but held no commercial, public, or military importance.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening this airport. The land is privately owned and fully utilized for agriculture. Re-establishing an airfield would be impractical and economically unviable, as there is no demonstrated need for it. The 'US-10642' identifier is a non-official code from third-party databases, and the airfield is considered permanently decommissioned.
