B & V Flying Ranch Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented. For small, privately-owned airfields like this, closure is typically due to private reasons such as the owner selling the property, ceasing aviation activities due to age or cost, or the death of the owner. There is no indication of accidents or military conversion.

Based on recent satellite imagery, the physical airstrip still exists. The north-south turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet long, remains clearly visible and appears to be mowed grass. A building consistent with a small hangar is still present at the south end of the runway, adjacent to a private residence. The land has not been converted to agriculture or redeveloped for other purposes. The site is private property and the airfield is not operational or available for public use.

B & V Flying Ranch Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. Its name suggests it was used for personal and recreational general aviation, likely serving the residents of the associated property (a 'flying ranch'). Its operations would have consisted of single-engine light aircraft. The airfield was never listed on major VFR sectional charts, indicating it was for private use and not intended for the general public. It represents a typical example of the numerous private grass strips established across rural America for personal aviation.

None known. As a privately owned property, any prospect of reopening would be solely at the discretion of the current landowner. Given its closure and removal from databases, an official public reopening is highly unlikely. The potential for private use by the owner remains as long as the runway is maintained, but it is not a recognized, operational airport.
