Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2007-2011. The airport was last listed in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory in 2000, and aerial imagery from 2006 shows a well-maintained strip. By 2011, the runway showed signs of disuse and was no longer being actively maintained.

Reason for Closure

Cessation of aviation activities by the private owner. As a private-use airfield on a farm, its closure was not due to economic failure, military conversion, or a major accident, but rather a personal decision by the owner to no longer operate an airfield on the property. This is a common fate for small, private airstrips.

Current Status

The site has reverted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former 2,200-foot runway, but it is no longer mown or maintained for aviation. The land is now used as a hay field or pasture, fully integrated with the surrounding Tims Angus Farm. A nearby building that may have served as a hangar appears to be used for farm storage.

Historical Significance

Tims Angus Farm Airport was a private-use airfield serving the personal and business needs of its owner, Richard Tims. Its significance was local, representing a typical American farm strip that allowed for convenient general aviation travel directly from a rural property. When active, it featured a single turf runway (designated 1/19) measuring approximately 2,200 feet long by 100 feet wide. It would have handled light, single-engine aircraft capable of operating from a short grass field.

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As the land is privately owned and has been successfully repurposed for agriculture for over a decade, a return to aviation use is highly improbable. It would require a significant investment and a renewed interest in aviation from the current landowner.
