Detailed closure information for Clinton County Airport is being prepared. This will include closure date, reasons, historical significance, and current status.
I checked again with the Burlington controller when I overflew this summer, and he said that the field is closed completely now.
It's still marked as open in the FAA data, although it has a remark "ARPT CLSD TO ACR & TSNT ACFT." I'm not sure what "ACR" is, but "TSNT" is obviously "transient". I assume that means it's open to based aircraft.
This airport is now closed to itinerant aircraft, according to the Burlington approach controller I talked with today while overflying Plattsburgh -- visitors are supposed to go to Plattsburgh International (KPBG) nearby, an old military strip with a very long runway. The controller said that they were still using Clinton Co. for paradrops, and that there were still some local planes there (possibly including a DC-3 I once saw take off), waiting for hangar space at KPBG.
Comfortable FBO ... not much food, but my kids were excited by the small bags of Fritos in the vending machine (can't buy them in Canada). They had a number of DVDs available for viewing, if you were stuck there for a while.
