Eudy Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small private airfields. However, the closure was most likely due to economic reasons or the owner's personal circumstances (e.g., retirement, death, or finding the land more valuable for other uses). The subsequent conversion of the land back to agriculture indicates it was no longer financially viable or desired to operate it as an airport.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The land at the coordinates has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the area of the former runway and taxiways is now an active farm field, cultivated with crops. A building that was likely the original hangar remains on the property, but it has been repurposed as a standard farm outbuilding or shed. All traces of active aviation infrastructure are gone.

Eudy Airport was a small, privately-owned turf airfield. It was a characteristic example of the numerous private 'farm strips' that were common across the American Midwest in the mid-20th century. First appearing on aviation directories around 1962, it was operated by H. Eudy. The facility consisted of a single unpaved runway, approximately 2,200 feet long, aligned NW/SE, and at least one hangar. Its operations were limited to general aviation, serving the personal aircraft of the owner and likely a few local pilots. It never hosted commercial or military operations and its significance was confined to the local private flying community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Eudy Airport. The land is privately owned and is an integrated part of a working farm. The cost of reacquiring and developing the land for aviation use would be substantial, and there is no apparent demand, with larger, public-use airports such as Rochelle Municipal (KRPJ) and Chicago Rockford International (KRFD) serving the region. Reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
