Approximately between 1998 and 2004. The 1998 FAA Airport/Facility Directory listed the airport's status as 'Closed indefinitely.' It was no longer depicted on aeronautical charts by 2004, confirming its permanent closure during this period.
The airport was a privately owned field. While the exact reason is not publicly documented, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small, private airfields: the owner may have ceased flying, sold the property, passed away, or found the cost and liability of maintaining an active airfield prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic event.
The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the land is now a pasture or hay field. The faint, straight outline of the former north-south runway is still discernible, but it is completely overgrown with grass and is no longer suitable for aviation. There are no remaining airport structures like hangars or markers on the site.
Henington Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving its owner, J.D. Henington, and potentially other local pilots. It was typical of thousands of private 'farm strips' across the United States. When active, it featured a single unpaved turf runway, designated 17/35, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft for personal transportation and possibly agricultural purposes like crop dusting, which is common in the region.
None. The airport is permanently closed, and the land is privately owned and has been repurposed for agriculture for over two decades. There are no known plans, proposals, or discussions at any level to reopen Henington Airport.
