Sigourney Airport

The airport was a small, private airstrip. While no official reason is documented, the evidence strongly points to closure for economic and land-use reasons. The site was converted back into agricultural land, which is a common outcome for small, private airfields when the owner stops flying, sells the property, or finds the land more valuable for farming.

The site is currently active agricultural land. All aviation infrastructure, such as hangars or markers, has been removed. The land has been plowed over and is used for crop cultivation. In some satellite images, a faint linear 'scar' or discoloration in the soil is visible, outlining the location of the former northwest/southeast oriented runway, a common remnant of abandoned airstrips.

This was a private general aviation airstrip with no significant historical role. Its identifier, US-11351, is a non-official code used by third-party databases to catalog small or closed fields, not an official FAA or ICAO identifier. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft (like Cessnas or Pipers) for recreational or personal use by the property owner and possibly other local pilots. It was never a public, municipal, or commercial airport. The city of Sigourney is served by the separate and still active Sigourney Municipal Airport (FAA: I75), located a few miles northwest of this closed site.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this airport. The land is privately owned and is being actively farmed. Re-establishing an airport would be economically unfeasible and would require the current landowner to cease agricultural operations and invest in rebuilding all necessary infrastructure.
