Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is not documented, but the airport was closed sometime between May 1975 and May 1981. It was depicted on the May 1975 Detroit Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the May 1981 edition of the same chart.

Reason for Closure

While no single official reason is cited, the closure is characteristic of many small, privately-owned airfields from that era. The most likely factors include a combination of economic pressures, rising land values making the property more valuable for commercial development, and potential redundancy due to the proximity of the larger, publicly-owned Findlay Airport (KFDY), which could better support the region's aviation needs.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as an airfield. The property is now occupied by the Lowe's Regional Distribution Center (RDC 991), a large-scale industrial warehouse and logistics facility. All runways, hangars, and other aviation-related structures have been demolished to make way for the distribution center and its associated parking lots.

Historical Significance

Weaver Airport was a small general aviation airfield that served the local Findlay community for several decades. It first appeared on aeronautical charts around 1946. It was a privately-owned field, primarily used by local pilots for recreational flying and flight training in light aircraft. By the 1960s, it was described as having two unpaved turf runways, with the longest being approximately 2,400 feet. The airport never handled scheduled commercial passenger service or significant military operations; its importance was rooted in providing a local hub for private aviation enthusiasts.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero prospects for reopening Weaver Airport. The land has been permanently and fully repurposed for major commercial and industrial use, making a return to aviation activities completely infeasible.
