Northbrook Airport

The airport was a privately owned aerodrome. While the specific reason for its closure is not publicly documented, it is consistent with the common fate of small, private airfields. Such closures are typically due to economic factors, including the high cost of maintenance, taxes, and insurance, the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, or a general lack of use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

The site is no longer a functional airport. The former runway is completely overgrown with grass and vegetation, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding fields and unusable for any aviation activity. A large hangar-like building still exists on the property, but the land appears to be used as a private rural residence or for agricultural purposes.

Northbrook Airport was a private general aviation aerodrome. It is important to note that its official Transport Canada Identifier was CNB2, not CA-1195; the latter is a non-official identifier, likely originating from a flight simulator database. The airport featured a single turf/grass runway, approximately 2,400 feet long, oriented roughly 17/35. Its operations were limited to recreational flying for light single-engine aircraft and ultralights. As a private field, all operations were on a 'Prior Permission Required' (PPR) basis. Its significance was purely local, serving the private owner and potentially a few other local pilots.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Northbrook Airport. Since the land is privately owned, any decision to restore and recertify the airstrip would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given the significant costs involved and the general trend of small private airfields remaining permanently closed, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
