Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Sometime between 1982 and 1993. The airport was listed in the 1982 AOPA Airport Directory but was no longer depicted on the 1993 Detroit Sectional Chart. Aerial photography from 1994 shows the runway was no longer being maintained, suggesting closure likely occurred in the mid-to-late 1980s.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, but as a small, privately owned airfield (operated by Harold Weiker), the closure was most likely due to personal or economic reasons. Common factors for such closures include the owner's retirement, death, the sale of the property, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private airstrip. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land is now an active farm field, with no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland.

Historical Significance

Weiker Airport (FAA LID: 3OH0) was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving the recreational flying needs of its owner and possibly other local pilots. It was first listed in aviation directories in 1968. Operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft suitable for its single, unpaved turf runway, which was approximately 2,200 feet long and oriented North/South. It was never a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled flights or significant cargo operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Weiker Airport. The land is privately owned and actively used for agriculture. Re-establishing an airport would require a complete reconstruction of all facilities, making it economically and logistically infeasible.
