Krumenacker Airport

The airport was a private field owned and operated by an individual, Francis Krumenacker. While the exact reason is not publicly documented, the closure was likely due to personal reasons of the owner, such as retirement from flying, health, or the cost and liability of maintaining an active airfield. This is a common fate for small, privately owned airports. The owner passed away in 2011, several years after the field was closed.

The site is currently private property, appearing to be part of a farm or large rural residence. Satellite imagery shows that the grass runway is still clearly visible and mowed, but it is no longer maintained or marked as an active airfield. The land is used for agricultural or residential purposes, and the associated buildings appear to be a private home and farm structures.

Krumenacker Airport (formerly bearing the FAA Location ID: 5PN8) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was not a commercial airport and handled no scheduled flights or military operations. Its primary function was to serve the personal aviation needs of its owner and possibly other local pilots with permission. The airfield consisted of a single turf runway, designated Runway 8/26, with a length of approximately 2,200 feet. Its significance was local, providing a base for recreational flying in the Carrolltown area.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Krumenacker Airport. As the land is privately owned and has been officially closed for over 15 years, and with the original owner deceased, a return to aviation use is considered extremely unlikely.
