Dulmes Field

Economic reasons and change in land use. Dulmes Field was a privately owned turf airstrip operated by 'Dulmes & Son Inc.'. Like many small, private general aviation fields, its closure was not due to a specific incident but likely resulted from the owner ceasing aviation operations. The land was subsequently converted back to agricultural use, which is a common fate for such airfields when they are no longer economically viable or the owner retires or passes away.

The site has been fully converted back to agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the former runway area is now an active farm field, indistinguishable from the surrounding cultivated land. There are no visible remnants of the airport, such as hangars, runway markers, or other aviation infrastructure. The land is privately owned and used for farming.

Dulmes Field, also known as Dulmes Sky Harbor Airport (using the former FAA identifier 3D5), was a private general aviation airport. Its significance was primarily local, serving private pilots and the interests of its owner in the Oostburg, Wisconsin area. It featured a single north/south turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 2,300 feet by 100 feet. Operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft suitable for grass strips. It represented a typical post-war private airfield that supported recreational flying and the local aviation community before its eventual closure.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Dulmes Field. The land has been successfully reclaimed for agriculture for over a decade, making any potential conversion back to an airport highly improbable and economically unfeasible. The airport is considered permanently closed.
