Ring Hill Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is common for small, private airfields. Closure was likely due to economic or personal reasons of the owner (Ring Hill Inc.). There is no evidence of a major accident, environmental issue, or military conversion leading to the closure. The land was subsequently sold or repurposed for other development.

The site has been completely redeveloped. A large-scale solar farm has been constructed directly on the footprint of the former runway and surrounding land. The distinct clearing for the runway is still visible from the air, but it is now covered with rows of solar panels. A private residence remains at the southern end of the property.

Ring Hill Airport was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. It was not of major historical significance but served as a local landing strip for private pilots. It featured a single turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,550 feet. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft for recreational purposes by the owner and permitted individuals. It was established sometime between 1979 and 1993 and was a typical example of the numerous private airfields that once dotted the rural American landscape.

None. The construction of a permanent solar energy installation on the former runway makes reopening the airport infeasible. The land has been fundamentally repurposed for industrial energy generation, precluding any future aviation use.
