Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not publicly documented. The airport is listed as 'closed' in aviation databases, likely having been delisted sometime in the 2000s or 2010s when many small, private airfields were removed from official records or ceased public notification of their existence.

Reason for Closure

No official reason for the closure is recorded. For a small, private ultralight port, closure is typically due to personal reasons of the owner, such as cessation of flying activities, sale of the property, death of the owner, or simply a decision to no longer have the field publicly listed. It was not closed for military, commercial, or accident-related reasons.

Current Status

Analysis of recent satellite imagery (2023-2024) of the coordinates shows that the site is a private residence on a rural, agricultural property. The grass airstrip is still clearly visible and appears to be well-maintained and mowed, running in a north-south orientation next to the home and a hangar-like building. While the airport is officially 'closed' in public databases (meaning it is not on aeronautical charts), the physical infrastructure remains and may still be in private use by the landowner.

Historical Significance

Rex's Ultralightport was a privately owned, private-use airfield. Its sole purpose was to support recreational flying of ultralight aircraft, as defined under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 103. Operations would have consisted of a single grass runway used by the owner and possibly invited guests. Its significance was purely local and recreational, serving as a personal base for ultralight aviation enthusiasts, and it did not handle any commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known public plans or prospects to reopen Rex's Ultralightport as a publicly charted or registered airfield. As it is private property, any future aviation use is at the sole discretion of the current landowner. It could potentially be reactivated as a private field at any time by the owner, but a public reopening is highly unlikely.
