Fender J H Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the evidence strongly suggests the closure was due to the owner ceasing aviation activities. This could be due to the owner's retirement, death, or sale of the property. The land was subsequently reclaimed for its agricultural value, which is a typical fate for private airstrips in rural areas.

The site of the former airport has been completely converted back to agricultural land. Current satellite imagery shows the area of the former runway is now a cultivated farm field, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland except for a very faint outline visible under certain conditions. There are no remaining signs of airport infrastructure such as hangars, markings, or a windsock. The land is private property and is actively used for farming.

Fender J H Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. The name suggests it was owned and operated by an individual, J.H. Fender. Its primary function was to support general aviation activities for its owner and possibly invited guests. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for personal transportation, recreation, or potentially agricultural purposes. The runway was oriented roughly north-south and was approximately 2,400 feet in length. The airport held no major commercial or military significance and was not listed with an official FAA or IATA identifier; the 'US-10219' code is a non-official identifier from a third-party database (OurAirports).

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fender J H Airport. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and the cost and effort to re-establish an airfield would be substantial. As a private field with no public or commercial history, there is no apparent demand or economic incentive for it to be reopened.
