Don's Airstrip

While no official reason is publicly documented, the closure is consistent with the common fate of small, private airfields. Reasons are almost certainly personal and economic, likely related to the owner retiring from flying, selling the property, passing away, or finding the cost and effort of maintenance prohibitive for a private-use strip. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident or military conversion.

The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery shows the land where the runway once existed is now part of a larger cultivated field. The outline of the former runway is faint to non-existent, and any associated structures like a hangar or shed appear to have been removed or have fallen into ruin. The property is private land.

Don's Airstrip was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily personal to its owner (presumably 'Don') and local aviation enthusiasts who may have used it. It featured a single turf/grass runway, approximately 2,200 feet in length, suitable for light, single-engine aircraft such as Cessnas or Pipers. Operations were limited to private, recreational VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights. It was not a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger or cargo services.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Don's Airstrip. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and the infrastructure has been removed. Furthermore, the nearby Picton Airport (CNT7) adequately serves the general aviation needs of Prince Edward County, making the revival of this small, private strip economically and logistically unfeasible. For all practical purposes, its existence as an airfield is permanently concluded.
