Frymoyer Airport

The exact reason for the closure is not publicly documented. However, it is common for small, privately-owned airfields to close due to economic factors, the sale of the property, or the owner's retirement or death. The airport's owner and operator, Paul E. Frymoyer, was an avid pilot who passed away in 2015, a few years after the airport ceased operations. The closure likely stemmed from his decision to cease operating the field.

The site of the former airport has been fully converted to agricultural use. The land where the runway and taxiways were located is now a cultivated farm field, with crops planted across the entire area. The original hangars and airport buildings have been demolished and replaced with modern agricultural structures, such as large pole barns. There are no remaining visible traces of the active airport.

Frymoyer Airport was a privately-owned, public-use general aviation airport. Established between 1963 and 1969, it served the local aviation community in Perry County, Pennsylvania. It featured a single turf runway (Runway 1/19), approximately 2,200 feet long. The airport was a hub for local recreational pilots and handled light, single-engine aircraft like Pipers and Cessnas. Its significance was purely local, providing a base for private pilots rather than supporting any major commercial or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Frymoyer Airport. The complete conversion of the land to agriculture, the removal of all aviation infrastructure, and the passing of the original owner make the possibility of it ever returning to service as an airport virtually zero.
