New Liberty Field

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned turf strip, the closure was most likely due to a private owner's decision. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner's retirement from flying or death, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private airfield.

The site has been fully converted back to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a farm field where the runway once was. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible as a slight discoloration in the vegetation, but there are no remaining aviation facilities such as hangars, markings, or a maintained runway surface. The land is part of a larger farm.

New Liberty Field was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily for the personal use of its owner, Robert Jones, and any permitted guests. It was not a public-use airport and did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations. It featured a single turf runway (18/36) approximately 2,600 feet long. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft suitable for grass strip landings and takeoffs.

None. There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening New Liberty Field. The land is privately owned and has been integrated into agricultural operations for many years, making a return to aviation use highly improbable.
