Night Hawk Airpatch Ultralightport

The airport was a privately owned facility. While no single official reason was publicly documented, the closure is characteristic of small, private-use airfields. It is presumed to be a personal decision by the owner, David L. Nighthawk. Such closures are often due to factors like retirement, the sale of the property, rising insurance costs, liability concerns, or a simple desire to cease operations. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or external economic pressure.

The site is currently private residential and agricultural land. An examination of recent satellite imagery of the coordinates (36.189201, -95.540298) shows that the property is occupied by a private home with several outbuildings. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible as a mown grass strip, but it is no longer maintained to aviation standards and has effectively reverted to being part of the property's lawn or pasture. There are no visible airport markings, windsocks, or aircraft on the site.

Night Hawk Airpatch Ultralightport was a classic example of a private, grassroots aviation facility. Its primary purpose was for recreational flying. Operations were centered around a single, unpaved turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 1500 feet long by 75 feet wide. The name 'Ultralightport' indicates it was particularly suited for and likely frequented by ultralight aircraft, as well as other small, single-engine planes with STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capabilities. Its significance was not on a national or major regional level, but rather as a personal airfield that supported the local private flying community in Rogers County, Oklahoma.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Night Hawk Airpatch. Since the airport was on private land and has been officially closed for over a decade, its reinstatement is highly unlikely. Any decision to reopen would rest solely with the current landowner, and there has been no public indication of such an intent. The land appears to be fully integrated into private residential use, making a future as an airport improbable.
