Cobb Farm Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately owned turf airstrip on a farm (often referred to as 'Cobb Field' or 'Cobb Pvt Field'), the closure was almost certainly due to private reasons. Common factors for such closures include the owner's retirement or death, the sale of the property, or the increasing cost and liability associated with maintaining a private airfield. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The land where the runway was located has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former north-south runway, but the area is actively being cultivated with crops. The adjacent farm buildings remain, but there is no visible trace of aviation infrastructure such as a hangar, windsock, or runway markers.

Cobb Farm Airport was a private general aviation airfield that was active from at least the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. Its primary operation was to support the personal flying activities of its owner and potentially other local pilots or agricultural operations. Historical records show it featured a single turf (unpaved) runway, oriented north-south (Runway 17/35), with a length of approximately 2,200 feet. Its significance lies in being a typical example of the thousands of private farm strips that were common across rural America, supporting a grassroots general aviation community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully integrated back into the surrounding farmland for several decades. Re-establishing an airport at this location would be prohibitively expensive and complex, requiring new land acquisition, construction, and FAA certification. For these reasons, the prospect of it ever reopening as an airport is effectively zero.
