Coot Landing Airport

No official reason for the closure is publicly available, which is common for small, private airfields. The closure was most likely due to private economic reasons. The land was owned privately, and the conversion of the airstrip back into profitable agricultural land suggests the owner either sold the property or decided that farming was a more viable use for the land than maintaining a private airport.

The site of the former Coot Landing Airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land where the runway once existed is now part of a larger cultivated field, with no visible remnants of the airstrip, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land is actively farmed.

Coot Landing Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was primarily local, serving the needs of its owner and potentially other local pilots for recreational flying. It featured a single north-south turf runway, estimated to be approximately 2600 feet long. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft capable of using a short grass strip. The name 'Coot Landing' suggests a possible connection to recreational activities like hunting, as coots are a type of waterfowl. It was not a commercial airport and had no scheduled services or significant infrastructure beyond the turf runway itself.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Coot Landing Airport. The land has been fully converted to agricultural use for over a decade, and re-establishing an airport would require significant investment to repurchase the land from its current owner and reconstruct the necessary infrastructure. Given its history as a small, private field, there is no apparent public or commercial demand that would justify such an effort. The prospect of it reopening as an airport is effectively zero.
