Vincent Airport

While no single official reason is documented, the closure was likely due to a combination of factors common to small general aviation airports. These typically include economic non-viability, rising operational and insurance costs, the owner's retirement or sale of the property, and the increasing value of the land for agricultural or real estate development. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The site of the former Vincent Airport is now private property and has been converted primarily to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the land where the runway once existed is now actively farmed. The faint outline of the former runway is still visible from the air as a distinct strip of land. Several original structures, including buildings that appear to be former hangars and a main house or office, remain on the property to the east of the old runway and are now part of a private farmstead.

Vincent Airport, which also used the FAA identifier 62C, was a local general aviation airport serving the community of Genoa City and surrounding Walworth County, Wisconsin. Established prior to 1960, it primarily featured a single north/south turf runway (18/36) approximately 2,600 feet in length. For much of its history, it was a public-use facility that supported recreational flying, private pilot training, and possibly agricultural operations. In its later years, it was re-designated as a private airfield before its eventual closure. Its significance was as a local hub for private aviators rather than a commercial or military installation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Vincent Airport. The land has been fully integrated into private agricultural use for over two decades. The cost, regulatory hurdles, and lack of demonstrated need make its revival as an aviation facility extremely unlikely. The general aviation needs of the region are served by other active airports nearby, such as Grand Geneva Resort Airport (C02) and Burlington Municipal Airport (KBUU).
