Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown as the airport was a private field that was likely abandoned rather than formally closed. Based on historical satellite imagery, the airstrip appears to have fallen into disuse sometime between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s. A distinct runway is visible in 1991 imagery, but it becomes progressively less defined in subsequent years.

Reason for Closure

Unknown, but the closure is presumed to be due to abandonment by the private owner. As a private-use airstrip supporting an agricultural business, it was likely closed for economic or logistical reasons, such as the owner no longer flying, the cost of maintenance outweighing the benefits, or a preference for using the nearby public Scott City Municipal Airport (KTQK).

Current Status

The site is now fully integrated into the large, active cattle feedlot currently known as Scott County Feeders. The coordinates provided in the prompt (38.2584, -100.879997) point directly into the feedlot's pens. The faint outline of the former north-south dirt runway is still visible on satellite imagery just to the east of the main feedlot complex, but it exists only as a dirt track or service road and is no longer used as an airfield.

Historical Significance

Prima Airport was a private, unpaved airstrip that served the adjacent large-scale cattle feedlot, historically known as the Prima-Gann Feedlot. Its operations were limited to private general aviation aircraft, likely used by the feedlot's owners and management for business travel, property surveys, or transporting parts. It was never a public airport, had no scheduled commercial operations, and held no major historical significance beyond its utility to the private agricultural enterprise it served. The identifier 'US-10658' is not a standard ICAO code but rather a unique identifier from a non-governmental or historical database, which is common for small, private, or defunct airfields.

Reopening Prospects

None. The land has been completely absorbed by the industrial agricultural operation of the Scott County Feeders feedlot. There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the airstrip.
