Bee-Acre Farm Strip

Land redevelopment for agricultural purposes. The closure was a direct result of the property owner's decision to construct a large farm building (likely for equipment storage or livestock) on the southern end of the runway. This change in land use is a common reason for the closure of private, non-commercial airstrips.

The site is no longer an airport and is used exclusively for agriculture. The southern portion of the former runway is occupied by the large farm building that led to its closure. The northern portion has been fully reclaimed as a cultivated farm field. While a very faint outline of the former grass runway can sometimes be discerned in satellite photos depending on the season and crop growth, it is completely gone and unusable as an airfield.

Bee-Acre Farm Strip was a small, private turf runway located in Atlanta, Tipton County, Indiana (not Atlanta, Georgia). Its identifier, US-10992, is an internal designation used by some aviation databases and is not an official ICAO code. The airstrip had no significant national or regional historical importance. Its role was typical of thousands of private farm strips across the United States: it served the personal, recreational, and possibly agricultural aviation needs of its owner. Operations would have consisted of single-engine general aviation aircraft. It was not a public-use airport and had no commercial services, flight schools, or military operations.

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening Bee-Acre Farm Strip. The presence of a large, permanent building directly on the former runway path makes any potential for reopening infeasible. It would require the demolition of the structure and complete reconstruction of the airstrip, which is highly improbable for a private strip of this nature.
