Unknown. The airport is listed as 'closed' in several unofficial online aviation databases, but the exact date of this designation is not recorded. Satellite imagery shows the grass runway has been continuously and visibly maintained from at least 1998 through 2023, making its operational status ambiguous. The 'closure' may simply refer to the owner no longer wishing it to be listed, rather than the field becoming physically unusable.
Unknown. As a private airstrip, any 'closure' would almost certainly be due to the personal circumstances of the owner rather than external factors like economic downturns or regulatory action that affect public airports. Common reasons for private strip closures include the owner selling the property, ceasing flying activities due to age or health, or selling their aircraft.
The site is a private residential property. High-resolution satellite imagery from 2023 shows a well-maintained north-south grass runway located next to a private home and a building that appears to be a hangar. Although listed as 'closed' in databases, the physical condition of the runway suggests it is either still maintained for potential use or is cared for as a large, manicured lawn. The land has not been redeveloped for other purposes.
The airport has no known public or historical significance. It was a private-use grass airstrip, likely named 'Archangels Landing' by its owner for personal use. It was never a publicly charted airport and did not support commercial, military, or significant general aviation traffic. Operations would have been limited to the owner's personal recreational flying, likely with a single-engine light aircraft capable of operating from a grass runway of approximately 2,200 feet.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport for public use. Its status as an active airstrip is entirely at the discretion of the current landowner. For it to be used for aviation again would simply require a willing owner with a suitable aircraft, subject to local zoning ordinances. There is no indication of any effort to convert it into a public facility.
