Reimers Airport

The airport, officially known by the FAA identifier 5ND2, was a private-use airstrip owned by an individual, Marvin Reimers. Its closure was not due to any public event like an accident or military conversion. The most probable reason is a personal decision by the owner to cease aviation operations, which could be due to retirement, sale of aircraft, or the land being fully repurposed for agriculture. This is a common fate for private, family-owned airfields.

The site of the former Reimers Airport has been fully returned to agricultural use. The land where the turf runway was located is now part of a cultivated farm field. The faint, straight outline of the former runway is still visible on satellite images, but it is no longer maintained as an aviation surface. The associated buildings on the property appear to be used as standard farm structures. The airport is permanently closed.

Reimers Airport had no major national or regional historical significance. It was a typical private general aviation airfield. Its primary purpose was to serve the aviation needs of its owner and potentially other local pilots with permission. Located in a heavily agricultural area, its operations likely consisted of personal recreational flying and possibly agricultural aviation support (such as for crop dusting aircraft). The facility was modest, featuring a single 2,600 x 50 foot turf runway designated 17/35.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening Reimers Airport. As the land is privately owned and has been successfully reintegrated into agricultural production, there is no incentive for it to be converted back into an airfield. Furthermore, the public-use Carrington Municipal Airport (ICAO: K46U) is located less than 5 miles to the southwest, adequately serving the aviation needs of the local community.
