The airport was officially closed and removed from FAA aeronautical charts sometime between late 2015 and mid-2016. While it was still depicted on the November 2015 Wichita Sectional Chart, it was absent from the May 2016 edition.
The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented. As a private airfield, the closure was almost certainly a decision made by the property owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner's retirement from flying, prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance, or liability concerns. There is no indication that it was closed due to a major accident or for military/government conversion.
The site is currently private residential and agricultural property. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the location of the former airstrip. The grass runway is still clearly distinguishable as a long, mowed field adjacent to a private home and a large outbuilding that likely served as a hangar. There are no visible aircraft or signs of current aviation activity, and the land appears to be maintained as part of the residential lawn and surrounding farmland.
Myers Airport was a small, privately owned airfield used for general aviation. Its significance was primarily local, serving the recreational or business flying needs of its owner. It was charted for decades, appearing on VFR sectional charts as early as the 1970s, marked as 'MYERS (Pvt)'. It featured a single unpaved, north-south turf runway with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas or Pipers.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Myers Airport. Since the land is privately owned and has been officially closed for several years, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current or a future landowner's desire and financial ability to re-certify and operate it as an airfield. This is considered highly unlikely.
