Rush Airport

The exact reason for closure is not officially documented. However, Rush Airport was a small, privately owned airfield. The closure was most likely due to the owner's personal circumstances, such as retirement, death, the sale of the property, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private airstrip. This is a common reason for the closure of small, private-use airfields in the United States.

The airport site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows cultivated farmland where the runway once existed. The faint, linear outline of the former north-south runway is still slightly visible in the fields under certain conditions, but all associated airport infrastructure, such as markers or hangars, has been removed. The land is part of an active farm.

Rush Airport was a private-use general aviation airfield. It was owned and operated by William Rush. The airport featured a single turf runway, designated 17/35, with a length of 2,600 feet. Its operations were typical for a small, rural airstrip, primarily serving the owner's personal aircraft and possibly those of invited guests. It handled light, single-engine aircraft for recreational and personal transportation purposes. While not of major historical significance, it was a characteristic example of the thousands of private airstrips that dotted the American landscape, supporting the personal flying community in the latter half of the 20th century.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Rush Airport. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. Given that it has been closed for approximately two decades and fully converted back to agriculture, the likelihood of it ever being re-established as an airport is virtually zero.
