Strathmore (Duke) Airport

The closure was the result of a private operational decision. As a small, privately owned aerodrome (PPR - Prior Permission Required), its operation was dependent on the owner. Common reasons for the closure of such strips include the owner's retirement, sale of the property, rising liability insurance costs, or the land being repurposed for more profitable uses like agriculture. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic failure.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the land has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The former runway area is now part of a cultivated farm field, and there are no visible remnants of any aviation infrastructure such as hangars, markings, or the airstrip itself.

Strathmore (Duke) Airport was a small, private general aviation aerodrome. Its significance was primarily local, serving the owner and a small community of pilots who had permission to use the facility. Operations would have consisted of recreational flying, private transportation, and potentially some agricultural aviation activities, typical for a rural grass strip. It featured a single turf runway (listed in the 2006 CFS as Runway 16/34 at 2600 ft long). It was a characteristic example of the numerous private airstrips that support Canada's general aviation community, existing outside the network of larger public airports.

None. The aerodrome identifier CA-0367 has been de-registered, and the land has been physically converted back to farmland. Given the proximity to the growing hamlet of Langdon and the Calgary metropolitan area, the land is more valuable for agriculture or potential future residential/commercial development than for a small private airport. There are no known plans or discussions within the aviation community or local government to reopen the facility.
