Burk Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately owned airfield located on prime agricultural land, the closure was most likely due to economic factors or a change in ownership. Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement from flying, death, or the decision to sell or fully convert the property for more profitable agricultural use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The airport site has been completely decommissioned and fully converted back into agricultural land. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows no remaining trace of the runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land is actively cultivated as part of the surrounding farmland.

Burk Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was not a commercial or public-use airport and held no IATA code. Its primary function was to serve its owner, a Mr. Burk, and potentially other local private pilots. The facility consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, oriented roughly north/south, with a length of approximately 2,200 feet. Its operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft for recreational flying and possibly local agricultural purposes (crop dusting), which is common for rural airstrips of this nature. Its significance was localized to the private aviation activities of its owner.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Burk Airport. The land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture, and its value as productive farmland makes any future redevelopment as an airport extremely unlikely.
