Arthur Airport

The closure was due to economic reasons driven by urban development. The land, located in a growing suburban area west of Greenfield, became significantly more valuable for residential real estate than for its use as a small, private airfield. The property was sold to developers to be converted into a housing subdivision.

The site of the former Arthur Airport has been completely redeveloped and is now a residential housing subdivision named 'The Landings'. In a nod to its aviation history, the main road through the development is named 'Landing Way'. No physical traces of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure remain.

Arthur Airport (formerly FAA LID: 3IN7) was a privately-owned, public-use general aviation airport. Established sometime between 1965 and 1969, it was owned and operated by Robert Arthur. The airport featured a single, 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway aligned north-south (Runway 18/36). It primarily served local private pilots and their light aircraft, representing a typical small American airfield that supported the general aviation community during the mid-to-late 20th century. It did not handle commercial or military operations and its significance was local.

There are zero prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been permanently and fully redeveloped with residential homes and associated infrastructure, making any return to aviation use impossible.
