Dream Fields Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. As Dream Fields was a small, privately owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to a personal decision by the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner no longer being able to afford the upkeep, or the owner ceasing to fly. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, safety violations, or military conversion.

The site of the former Dream Fields Airport is completely abandoned and has reverted to nature. The coordinates point to a rural, wooded area. Satellite imagery clearly shows the faint, straight-line outline of the former runway, but it is now entirely overgrown with mature trees and dense brush. The airfield is unrecognizable from the ground and is completely unusable for any aviation purposes.

Dream Fields Airport was a private general aviation airfield established sometime between 1980 and 1992. Its primary function was to serve the recreational flying needs of its owner and possibly invited guests. According to a 1996 directory, it featured a single 3,000-foot turf runway designated 18/36. The airport's significance lies in its representation of the numerous small, private airfields that have been a part of America's aviation landscape, many of which have since been lost to development or disuse. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Dream Fields Airport. The land is privately owned, and the significant growth of trees on the former runway would make clearing and restoring it a costly and labor-intensive project. The airport is considered permanently closed.
