Louise's Strip

As a small, private airfield, the specific reason for closure is unknown. However, the most common reasons for such closures are the owner selling the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities (due to age, cost, or health), increased liability concerns, or the death of the owner. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, economic downturn, or for military conversion.

The site is currently an overgrown field. The faint outline of the former north-south grass runway is still visible in satellite imagery, but it is completely unmaintained, indistinct from the surrounding pasture, and unusable for any aviation purposes. The land has reverted to a rural, agricultural state.

Louise's Strip was a privately owned and operated turf runway used for general aviation. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a personal airfield for recreational flying. The informal name, 'Louise's Strip', strongly suggests it was named by or for its owner or a family member. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft taking off and landing from the simple grass field. It held no commercial, industrial, or military importance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Louise's Strip. The land is privately owned, and reopening an airfield that has been defunct for over a decade would require significant personal investment and initiative from the current landowner to meet modern standards and regulations. It is considered permanently closed.
