Mc Donald's Airstrip

As a small, private airstrip named after its owner (J.R. Mcdonald), the closure was almost certainly due to personal reasons rather than external factors. Common reasons for the closure of such private fields include the owner selling the property, ceasing aviation activities due to age or cost, or upon the owner's passing. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, economic downturn, or military conversion.

The site is currently private agricultural land, likely part of a larger farm or ranch. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former north-northeast/south-southwest runway. However, the surface is unmaintained, overgrown with grass, and fully integrated into the surrounding pasture. It is not in a usable condition for any aviation activity.

Mc Donald's Airstrip was a privately owned and operated turf runway. Its significance was entirely local, serving the personal general aviation needs of its owner. When active, it appeared on VFR sectional charts as 'McDONALD' with a listed runway length of 2,400 feet. Operations would have consisted of small, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper models) for recreational flying or potentially light agricultural use. It held no commercial or military importance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Mc Donald's Airstrip. Given that it is on private property and has been defunct for over 30 years, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on the current landowner's initiative and investment. The likelihood of this is considered extremely low to non-existent.
