Double E Heliport

As a private heliport, the specific reason for its closure is not publicly recorded. The most probable reason is a change in the owner's circumstances. This could include the owner selling the helicopter, ceasing aviation activities for financial or personal reasons, or selling the property to a new owner who did not operate aircraft. There is no information to suggest the closure was due to an accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

The site at coordinates 39.269501, -93.654404 is currently a private residential and agricultural property. Satellite imagery shows a farm with a house, outbuildings, and cultivated fields. There is no remaining visible infrastructure of a heliport, such as a marked landing pad or hangar distinct from farm buildings. The land designated for the heliport has reverted to lawn or agricultural use.

Double E Heliport (US-10407) was a private-use heliport with minimal to no public historical significance. Its operations were exclusively for the private use of the property owner. Given its location at a rural farmstead in an agricultural region, its operations likely involved either agricultural aviation (such as crop survey or spraying) or private transportation for the owner. The name 'Double E' likely refers to the name of the farm or the owner's initials. It did not serve commercial, charter, or general public air traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Double E Heliport. Its operational status is entirely dependent on the private owner of the property. For it to become active again, the current or a future owner would need to own a helicopter and choose to base it there. It is not being considered for any form of public or commercial development.
