W Meeks Ranch Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented, as is common for small, private airfields. The closure is characteristic of a private airstrip ceasing operations due to a change in the owner's personal circumstances, such as the owner no longer flying, the sale of the property, or the owner's passing. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed for military, commercial, or safety-mandated reasons.

The site is no longer an active airport. The former north-south turf runway has been reclaimed for agricultural use, likely as a pasture for grazing or for hay production. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from satellite imagery, there are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or markings, and the land is fully integrated with the surrounding fields.

W Meeks Ranch Airport was a private, un-charted turf airstrip. The identifier US-10967 is not an official FAA or ICAO code but an internal designation used by third-party aviation databases. The airport's sole purpose was to serve the W Meeks Ranch. Operations were limited to private general aviation, likely for the personal transportation of the ranch owner and for agricultural purposes such as crop dusting, surveying livestock, or checking fences. It held no public, commercial, or military significance and did not appear on official VFR sectional charts.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Its future use as an aviation facility is entirely at the discretion of the current landowner. Given that the land has been converted back to agricultural use, reopening is highly unlikely.
