Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2009-2010. The airport was listed as operational with activity data for the 12 months ending on August 20, 2008. However, satellite imagery from 2010 shows the runway had been plowed over and returned to farmland, indicating closure occurred between late 2008 and 2010.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not publicly documented. As a private airstrip owned by a farming corporation (Good Earth Farms Inc.), the closure was most likely a private economic or operational decision. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, the high cost of maintenance and insurance, or the decision to repurpose the land for more profitable agricultural use.

Current Status

The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The former runway area is now an active farm field, and there are no visible remnants of the airstrip, taxiways, or any associated structures like hangars. The land is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Historical Significance

Good Earth Farm Strip was a small, privately owned turf airstrip. Its ICAO code, US-11405, is a non-standard identifier used in some third-party databases, not an official FAA or ICAO designation. The airport featured a single north-south turf runway (18/36) approximately 2400 feet long and 100 feet wide. Its operations were exclusively for private use, requiring prior permission to land. It served the general aviation needs of its owners for recreational or business purposes. FAA data from 2008 reported approximately 100 aircraft operations per year, indicating very light usage. It held no significant public, commercial, or military role.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Good Earth Farm Strip. The land is under private ownership and is actively farmed. Re-establishing an airport at this location would require the landowner to cease agricultural use and make a significant private investment to rebuild and recertify the facility, which is considered highly unlikely.
