Bunn Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. Bunn Airport was a privately owned airfield. The closure is presumed to be related to the owner's personal circumstances, such as retirement from flying, death, or the sale of the property for other uses (in this case, agriculture). This is a common reason for the closure of small, private airstrips which are often tied directly to the owner's aviation activities.

The site of the former Bunn Airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land where the runway once existed is now an active farm field, indistinguishable from the surrounding cropland. The faint outline of the former north-south runway can sometimes be discerned from the air by slight variations in soil or crop patterns, but all physical airport infrastructure, such as hangars, markers, or a windsock, has been removed.

Bunn Airport was a private general aviation airfield serving its owner and potentially other local pilots. It was not a commercial or military facility. First appearing on aeronautical charts around 1981, it featured a single unpaved, north-south turf runway (designated 18/36) with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its operations would have been limited to light aircraft, such as single-engine planes, for recreational purposes or personal transportation. The airport was owned by Charles Bunn, and its significance was primarily as a personal-use facility within the local aviation community.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Bunn Airport. The land has been actively farmed for over two decades, and its status as a closed private field with no remaining infrastructure makes a future reopening extremely unlikely. Any new airport at this location would have to be established as a completely new project.
