Miller Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially recorded. However, for a small, privately-owned turf airstrip like Miller Airport, closure is almost certainly due to personal or economic factors. Common reasons include the owner's death, the sale of the property, the high cost of aircraft ownership and maintenance, or the decision to repurpose the land for a more profitable use like agriculture, which reflects its current state.

The airport is permanently closed and has been completely reclaimed by agriculture. Current high-resolution satellite imagery shows that the land where the north-south turf runway was located is now actively being farmed, with crop lines running directly through the former airstrip. While a faint outline of the compacted earth from the runway is sometimes visible depending on the season and crop, no aviation infrastructure (such as hangars, windsock, or markings) remains.

Miller Airport was a small, privately-owned turf airstrip and held no major national or regional historical significance. Its purpose was to support general aviation activities for its owner(s). Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft for personal, recreational, or possibly agricultural use (such as crop dusting), which is common for such fields in rural Kansas. The identifier US-11018 is an unofficial code used by third-party databases and not an official FAA or ICAO designation, underscoring its status as a minor, private facility.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Miller Airport. The land is privately owned and has been fully converted to agricultural use. Re-establishing an airport on the site would be prohibitively expensive and impractical, requiring the landowner to cease farming operations and invest in rebuilding all necessary infrastructure from scratch. For all practical purposes, the site's use as an airport is considered permanent history.
