Between 1998 and 2002. The airport was visible in 1998 aerial imagery but had been plowed over for farming by 2002.
Private decision by the landowner. The airport was a private-use strip, and the land was converted back to agricultural use. This is a common fate for small, private airfields when the owner ceases flying or sells the property.
The site has been fully reclaimed as active farmland. Satellite imagery shows the area is now comprised of cultivated fields, and there are no remaining visible traces of the former runway or any aviation facilities. The land is used for agriculture.
Funfsinn Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. Its primary purpose was for personal, general aviation use, likely by its owner, Richard Funfsinn, and associates. It featured a single unpaved runway oriented northwest/southeast, with an approximate length of 2,600 feet. The airport held no major commercial, military, or historical significance beyond serving the private aviation needs of its owner in the local community.
None. The land has been in continuous agricultural use for over two decades. There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for the airport to be reopened.
