E C Air Airport

The specific reason is not officially recorded, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to personal or economic factors related to its private ownership. This could include the owner's retirement, death, sale of the property, or the airstrip no longer being economically viable or necessary for their operations. There is no evidence it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

The site has reverted to agricultural land. Current satellite imagery shows the faint, overgrown outline of the former north-south runway in a field. It is no longer maintained or usable for aviation and appears to be part of the surrounding pasture or farmland. The nearby farm buildings to the east of the former runway appear to still be active.

E C Air Airport was a small, private aerodrome (Pvt) with a single turf runway (approximately 2,500 feet, oriented 17/35). Its significance was purely local, serving the needs of its owner. Operations would have been limited to private general aviation aircraft. Given its rural, agricultural setting, it was likely used for personal transportation and potentially for agricultural aviation purposes, such as crop dusting, for the associated farm or ranch. It never served commercial or scheduled public flights.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening E C Air Airport. As a private strip that has been officially decommissioned and physically reclaimed by farmland for over a decade, its revival is extremely unlikely. The nearby public-use Youngstown Airport (CYO) serves the general aviation needs of the area.
