Sell's Flying Field serves Mayer, US.
Sell's Flying Field (US-10306) was founded in 1928 by Elmer Sell and his father, O.D. Sell, in Mayer, Minnesota. The airfield initially operated on the Bleedorn property at the intersection of Highway 25 and Highway 30, later moving to a property south of Mayer on the east side of Highway 25.
The airfield briefly closed in 1941 when the National Guard took it over, and then Elmer Sell closed it for the duration of World War II due to gas rationing and other restrictions. After reopening, Sell Airfield continued offering passenger rides until 1959, when flying passengers from farm fields became illegal. Elmer Sell continued flying until illness forced him to stop solo flights in 1962, and he died in 1965.
The airfield featured an unpaved (turf) N-S runway, 1,200 x 50 ft (366 x 15 m), which was not lighted. The site is now classified as a historical airport, located at N44.87885° W93.88552° with an elevation of 990 ft MSL in Carver County, Minnesota.
