Between 2000 and 2002. The airport was listed as active in the 2000 FAA Airport/Facility Directory, but a 2002 aerial photograph shows the runway marked with a closed 'X' symbol, indicating it was no longer operational.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield, its closure was most likely due to economic factors, the owner's retirement or death, or the sale of the land for more profitable use (in this case, agriculture). There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.
The airport is permanently closed and has been completely dismantled. The land has been fully converted back to agricultural use. Satellite imagery shows the area of the former runway and hangars is now an indistinguishable part of a cultivated farm field. All airport infrastructure has been removed.
Teubel Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield established sometime between 1963 and 1969. It primarily served the local aviation community for recreational flying. The facility consisted of a single unpaved, 2,600-foot north/south turf runway (18/36) and a few small hangars for aircraft storage. It was owned by an individual, William Teubel, and supported light, single-engine aircraft typical of general aviation. It never had scheduled commercial passenger service or significant military operations.
None. There are no known plans or prospects to reopen Teubel Airport. The complete removal of its infrastructure and the conversion of the land to agriculture make its revival highly improbable.
