Ambler - Cady Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the closure was most likely due to private and economic factors. These typically include the owner's retirement or death, the sale of the property, or the land becoming more economically valuable for agriculture than for aviation. There is no evidence of a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action forcing the closure.

The airport site has been completely converted back to agricultural use. Modern satellite imagery of the coordinates (41.5439, -88.9934) shows the land is actively farmed, with visible crop rows covering the area of the former runway. While a very faint outline of the north-south runway can sometimes be discerned depending on the season and crop cycle, there are no remaining aviation facilities or markings. The land is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Ambler - Cady Airport was a small, privately owned general aviation airfield. Its significance was purely local, serving the needs of its owner and possibly other recreational pilots in the area. It was not a commercial or military facility. First appearing on aeronautical charts in the 1970s as 'Cady Airport', it was later listed as 'Ambler-Cady'. Operations consisted of light, single-engine aircraft. The airfield featured a single turf runway, designated Runway 2/20, with a length of approximately 2,640 feet. It represented a typical mid-to-late 20th-century private grass airstrip common in rural, agricultural areas of the United States.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Ambler - Cady Airport. The land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture, and re-establishing an airport would require significant investment and the re-purchase of the land for aviation purposes, which is highly improbable. The airport is considered permanently closed.
