Approximately between 2002 and 2006. The airport was listed in the 2002 AOPA Airport Directory and appeared on the 1999 Sectional Chart, but it was no longer depicted on the 2006 Sectional Chart.
Land redevelopment for commercial and residential use. As a privately owned airfield, the property was likely sold to developers. Satellite imagery confirms the former runway and airfield grounds have been completely replaced by new construction, indicating the closure was due to the high value of the land for development rather than operational or safety issues.
The site has been completely redeveloped and no longer resembles an airport. The former runway area is now occupied by a small business park and residential properties. A road named 'Dooley Way' runs through the former airfield, with several commercial buildings and homes built on the land. All aviation infrastructure, including the turf runway and any potential hangars, has been removed.
Fish Hatchery Farm Airport was a small, privately owned airfield primarily used for general aviation and recreational flying. According to the 2002 AOPA Airport Directory, it featured a single 2,600-foot turf runway (16/34). The directory specifically noted a high volume of ultralight aircraft operating at and in the vicinity of the airport, highlighting its role as a hub for local ultralight enthusiasts. Its name suggests a possible affiliation with the original farm on the property or proximity to the nearby Warm Springs State Fish Hatchery. It held no major commercial or military significance.
None. The prospect of reopening the airport is zero. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed with significant infrastructure, including commercial buildings, homes, and paved roads, making a return to aviation use impossible.
