Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown, but evidence from historical aerial photography suggests it ceased operations between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s. The airfield was rendered permanently unusable by the construction of large buildings on the property around 2015.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to private and economic reasons. As a privately owned airfield, its continued operation was dependent on the owner. The land was subsequently converted for agricultural use, which is a common fate for small, private airstrips in rural areas when the owner stops flying, sells the property, or passes away. There is no indication of military conversion, regulatory action, or a major accident leading to the closure.

Current Status

The site is now private farmland. The faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible from satellite imagery, but the land is actively cultivated for crops. Several large agricultural buildings have been constructed on the southern portion of the former airfield, directly obstructing the old runway's path.

Historical Significance

Mac's Field (formerly assigned the FAA identifier MO05) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It primarily served its owner, Wilber McClellan, and likely a small number of other local pilots. The airfield featured a single north-south turf runway (17/35) measuring approximately 2,600 feet in length and 100 feet in width. Its operations were typical of a private grass strip, handling light, single-engine aircraft for recreational and personal transportation purposes. It held no significant commercial or military role.

Reopening Prospects

None. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and the construction of permanent structures on the former runway makes reopening the site as an airport infeasible.
