Between 1993 and 2004. The airfield was officially depicted on the 1993 Wichita Sectional Aeronautical Chart but was no longer shown on the 2004 edition of the same chart, indicating it was closed and decommissioned within that timeframe.
The exact reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the closure is consistent with reasons typical for such facilities: the owner may have sold the land, passed away, or simply ceased aviation activities, making the upkeep of the runway impractical or uneconomical compared to using the land for agriculture.
The site is currently private property and appears to be used for agriculture. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the faint but distinct outline of the former north-south grass runway. The land is now part of a larger farm, and while the runway path is still visible as a strip of grass, it is not maintained to aviation standards and is indistinguishable from the surrounding pasture or hay fields. There are no hangars or other aviation-related buildings remaining on the site.
Boehne Field was a private-use general aviation airport. Its significance was purely local, serving its owner, Norman Boehne, and other pilots with prior permission. According to the 1982 AOPA Airport Directory, it featured a single north-south turf runway (18/36) measuring 2,200 feet in length. Operations would have been restricted to light, single-engine aircraft capable of using a short, unpaved runway. It never served commercial, cargo, or military functions and was not open to the public.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Boehne Field. As the land is privately owned and has been fully integrated into agricultural use for approximately two decades, the likelihood of it ever being restored as an active airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
