Approximately late 2003 to early 2004. The airfield was depicted on the October 2003 St. Louis Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the March 2004 edition.
The airport was a private-use airfield, and its closure was likely due to the owner ceasing aviation activities. This is common for small, private strips and can be due to the owner's retirement, sale of the property, or other personal reasons. There is no evidence of economic failure, military conversion, or a major accident leading to the closure.
The site remains a private residential property. Satellite imagery shows the former turf runway is still clearly visible as a mowed grass strip, and the associated hangars or large sheds are still standing. However, it is no longer registered or maintained as an active airfield and is considered private land.
Robertson's Roost Airport, also known by its former FAA identifier 0LL3, was a small, private-use airfield. It was established sometime between 1982 and 1986 by its owner, William Robertson. The facility consisted of a single 2,600-foot turf runway (18/36) and served as a residential airpark for the owner. Operations were limited to small, single-engine general aviation aircraft for personal and recreational purposes. It was never a public or commercial airport and held no major historical significance beyond serving as a private aviation facility. The provided ICAO code 'US-10874' is an internal identifier from a non-governmental airport database and not an official ICAO or FAA code.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Robertson's Roost Airport. As a former private airfield, its reactivation would be solely at the discretion of the current property owner and would require inspection and re-registration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is considered highly unlikely.
