Dalbom Ultralightport

The airport was a private-use facility owned and operated by an individual. The primary reason for its closure was the death of its owner. It was not closed for economic, military, or accident-related reasons in the typical sense, but rather because the sole proprietor was no longer able to maintain and operate it.

The site is currently private property and appears to be used as a residence with surrounding agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (36.769001, -94.212402) still shows the faint outline of the former grass runway, but it is no longer maintained for aviation purposes and is slowly being reclaimed by nature. There are no markings, lighting, or facilities to indicate it is an active airfield. The property remains a private farm/residence.

Dalbom Ultralightport, officially registered with the FAA as Dalbom Airport (FAA LID: 1MO3), was a small, private-use airfield. The identifier 'US-10807' is a non-standard code used by some third-party databases. The airport's significance was primarily personal and local, serving as the home base for its owner, Charles Dalbom, who was described as an 'avid pilot'. It consisted of a single turf runway (18/36) approximately 2,200 feet long. Operations were limited to recreational flying for the owner and any permitted guests, likely involving ultralight aircraft and other small single-engine planes. It was a characteristic example of a private grass strip supporting general aviation in a rural American setting.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As a private airfield whose existence was tied to its specific owner, it is highly unlikely to be reactivated. For it to reopen, a new owner would need to be an aviation enthusiast and go through the process of re-registering the airfield with the FAA, which is not anticipated.
