Zevely Climbing ZZ Ranch Airport

As a private airfield, the specific reason for its closure is not public record. Closures of such small, private strips are typically due to the owner's personal circumstances, such as the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities (due to age, health, or cost), or changes in the owner's business. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic downturn.

The site is currently inactive and part of a private ranch property. As of the latest satellite imagery, the grass runway is no longer maintained but remains clearly visible from the air. The surrounding land has not been redeveloped and retains its rural character. The airport is considered closed and abandoned.

The airport's significance was private and local. It was a private-use airstrip serving the ZZ Ranch and likely the business and personal aviation needs of its owners, believed to be associated with 'Zevely Climbing Inc.', an Oklahoma-based oil and gas company. The airport was not open to the public. Its unpaved runway, approximately 2,200 feet in length, would have handled light general aviation aircraft, such as single-engine or light twin-engine propeller planes (e.g., Cessna, Piper, or Beechcraft models). The identifier 'US-10232' is not an official FAA or ICAO code but an internal catalog number from a third-party airport database.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the Zevely Climbing ZZ Ranch Airport. As it is on private property, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current or future landowner's desire and financial ability to restore and operate an airfield. The likelihood of this is considered very low.
