Cedar Creek Airport

Economic reasons related to urban expansion. While a specific official reason is not documented, the closure is consistent with a common trend of small, privately-owned airfields on the outskirts of growing cities being closed as the land becomes more valuable for residential or commercial real estate development. The subsequent redevelopment of the land into a housing subdivision confirms this.

The airport site has been completely redeveloped and no longer exists. It is now the location of a residential housing subdivision. In a nod to the land's history, the subdivision features aviation-themed street names, including Runway Drive, Propeller Drive, Aviation Drive, Aileron Cove, and Tailwind Cove.

Cedar Creek Airport was a small, local general aviation airfield that emerged in the post-World War II private flying boom. It served private pilots in the northeastern Fort Wayne area. According to the 1948 Haire Airport Directory, it featured a single 2,000-foot turf runway and was managed by R.O. Feller. Its significance was primarily local, providing a base for recreational flying and possibly flight training, typical of the numerous small airfields that supported American civil aviation during that era before being absorbed by suburban growth.

None. The site is fully occupied by residential homes, streets, and infrastructure, making any prospect of reopening as an airport impossible.
