Information on a specific closure date is unavailable. The airport's 'closed' status originates from non-official, third-party aviation databases. This status is not corroborated by official FAA records or recent satellite imagery, which suggests the airstrip remains maintained.
No official reason for closure is documented. The 'closed' designation is likely an error in the source database or a misinterpretation of its status as a private field that is not open to public use. There is no evidence of closure due to accidents, economic hardship, or conversion to other use.
Despite being listed as 'closed' in some databases, current and historical satellite imagery shows a clearly defined and well-maintained north-south grass runway next to a farm. The site appears to be an active, or at least physically maintained, private airstrip.
Rick Mathias Private Airport is a small, un-charted grass airstrip located at a private farmstead. Its significance is entirely private, established for the personal use of its owner for recreational or agricultural aviation. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine general aviation aircraft. It holds no known wider historical significance.
As the airport does not appear to be factually closed or abandoned, the concept of 'reopening' is not applicable. It continues to exist as a private-use airfield, and its operational status is at the sole discretion of the property owner.
