Rag Wing Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The gradual decline visible in historical imagery suggests it was a private airstrip that closed after the owner ceased flying, sold the property, or passed away. The land was subsequently converted back to agricultural use. There is no evidence of closure due to military conversion, a specific accident, or commercial economic failure.

The site is currently private agricultural land. The former grass runway is no longer distinguishable from the surrounding fields and appears to be actively farmed, likely for hay or other crops. A small building, likely the original hangar, remains on the southern edge of the property and appears to be used as a farm storage shed.

Rag Wing Airport was a small, private grass airstrip. Its name strongly suggests it primarily served 'rag wing' aircraft—planes with fabric-covered wings, which are common in vintage, ultralight, and experimental aviation categories. Its significance was purely local and personal, serving as a base for recreational flying by its owner and possibly other local pilots with permission. It did not handle any commercial, military, or scheduled operations. The ICAO code 'US-11069' is an unofficial identifier used by third-party databases for airfields lacking an official FAA or ICAO code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Rag Wing Airport. The land has been fully integrated into agricultural use for well over a decade, and its status as a long-closed, private field makes a future return to aviation activity highly unlikely.
