Lung Restricted Landing Area

The airport was a private-use facility. It was closed and decommissioned following the passing of its owner and operator. The land was subsequently fully converted back to its primary agricultural use by the family. This is a common reason for the closure of small, private airfields.

The site of the former airport has been completely returned to agricultural use. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the land is actively farmed, with crops planted over the area where the runway and a small hangar once stood. A faint linear impression of the former north-south runway is still visible in the soil and crop patterns, but no aviation infrastructure remains.

Lung Restricted Landing Area (FAA LID: 4IL8) was a private turf airstrip serving its owner for personal and recreational aviation. It featured a single north-south turf runway (18/36) approximately 2,600 feet long. The airport's significance was not public or commercial; rather, it was a well-maintained example of a private farm strip, supporting the owner's passion for flying. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations. The identifier US-11422 is a non-official code used by some third-party databases to track the airfield after its official FAA identifier was retired.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has been fully reclaimed for farming and is privately held, reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require a new owner to purchase the property and invest in re-establishing the airfield from scratch, including obtaining new FAA approvals.
