Circa 2011. The heliport, which had the FAA identifier 1II3, was officially noted as 'Closed Indefinitely' in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records published by October 20, 2011.
The heliport was a private-use facility located on a residential property and owned by an individual, Jerry White. The specific reason for its closure is not publicly documented, but it is typical for such private facilities to close when the owner sells the property, sells their aircraft, or no longer has a need for it. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to an accident, regulatory action, or business-related economic reasons.
The site at coordinates 39.2806, -85.712502 is currently a private residential property in a rural area. Satellite imagery shows a large house with a substantial outbuilding that likely served as a hangar. The open, grassy area that functioned as the turf helipad remains as a well-maintained lawn, with no aviation markings or infrastructure visible.
White's Heliport was a small, private aviation facility with minimal historical significance beyond serving its owner. According to FAA records, it consisted of a 50 x 50 foot turf helipad. Its operations were exclusively for private, non-commercial helicopter flights, likely for the personal transportation of the owner. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger services. The identifier US-10958 is an internal database number, while its official designation by the FAA was 1II3.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening White's Heliport. As a private facility that has been closed for over a decade, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current property owner's initiative to acquire a helicopter and complete the necessary FAA registration and certification process. This is considered extremely unlikely.
