Fraser Farm Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented, but as a private airfield owned by an individual (John Fraser), the closure was almost certainly due to personal circumstances. This is common for small, private airstrips and can include the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, or the increasing cost and liability of maintaining an active runway. There is no evidence of military conversion, a major accident, or broader economic reasons causing the closure.

The site is private property and has reverted to use as a farm or ranch, which was its original namesake. The former 2,600-foot runway is no longer maintained for aviation; while its faint outline is still visible in satellite imagery as a grassy strip, it is obstructed and unusable for aircraft. The hangar at the north end of the former runway appears to have been repurposed as a barn or storage building for the farm.

Fraser Farm Airport (FAA identifier: 7TA8) was a small, private-use airfield. Its significance was limited to serving the general aviation needs of its owner and potentially a small number of local pilots. It was established sometime between 1983 and 1986. The facility consisted of a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway, oriented approximately north/south (Runway 17/35). Operations would have been restricted to light, single-engine aircraft typical of general aviation, such as Cessnas or Pipers. It had no commercial, military, or significant industrial role.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fraser Farm Airport. The land is privately owned and has been fully integrated into agricultural and residential use for nearly two decades. Re-establishing it as an airport would require significant investment and the consent of the current landowner, making any prospect of reopening extremely unlikely.
