Not applicable. The airport is fictional and has never existed.
Not applicable. The entity 'Wine Glass International Airport' is not a real aviation facility. The provided coordinates point to an agricultural field, not a closed airport.
The site at coordinates 37.631287, -103.657367 is currently an active agricultural field. Satellite imagery clearly shows a circular crop area with a center-pivot irrigation system. There is no aviation infrastructure such as runways, hangars, or terminals present.
This airport has no historical significance as it is a fictional creation. The name and the identifier 'US-10535' appear to be user-generated entries on non-authoritative mapping or data platforms. The name likely originates from the shape of the circular, pivot-irrigated farm field at the location, which can be interpreted as resembling a wine glass. The nearby city of La Junta does have a significant aviation history, primarily related to the La Junta Army Airfield (now La Junta Municipal Airport, KLHX), but that is a separate and distinct location.
There are no prospects for reopening, as the airport never existed. The site is privately owned agricultural land and is not recognized as an aviation facility by the FAA or ICAO.
