Sky High Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to personal or economic reasons for the owner. Common causes for such closures include the owner selling the property, no longer being able to afford the upkeep, a loss of interest in aviation, or the owner passing away. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

The site is currently private property. Satellite imagery shows the grass runway is still clearly visible, though it does not appear to be actively maintained for aviation purposes. The hangar-like building at the south end of the former runway also remains standing. The land is part of a rural residential and agricultural property and is not used as an active airport.

Sky High Airport (formerly assigned FAA identifier 1OK3) was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its historical significance is limited to local aviation. It served as a base for personal recreational flying for its owner, J.D. Williams, and potentially other local pilots with permission. The facility consisted of a single north-south unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet in length, and at least one hangar building. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations and was a typical example of a private-use rural airstrip common in the mid-to-late 20th century.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Sky High Airport. As the land is privately owned and has been closed to aviation for over two decades, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on the current landowner's initiative, investment, and ability to meet modern FAA requirements for establishing an airfield. It is considered highly unlikely to be reactivated.
