The airport was likely closed to air traffic between 1994 and 2002. The last known aerial photograph showing a clearly marked runway was from 1994. By 2002, aerial imagery shows the land had been converted for agricultural use. The FAA officially listed the airport as 'Closed' in the 2005 Airport/Facility Directory.
The closure was due to economic reasons and land repurposing. The owner, Spring Landing Farms Inc., converted the private airfield back into active farmland. The installation of a large center-pivot irrigation system directly over the former runway area confirms the land was reclaimed for full-time agricultural use.
The site is currently active agricultural land and is part of Spring Landing Farms. All physical traces of the airport, including the runway and any associated structures, have been removed. The land where the runway once existed is now a cultivated field, and its outline is no longer visible from the air.
Spring Landing Airport (formerly FAA identifier: MD81) was a small, private-use airfield serving general aviation. It was established sometime prior to 1970 and appeared on the Washington Sectional Chart from 1970 onwards. The airport featured a single unpaved, 2,200-foot turf runway (Runway 18/36). Its operations were limited to private pilots and likely supported the agricultural activities of the farm it was located on. It was never a commercial or military airport and had no significant historical events associated with it.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Spring Landing Airport. The complete conversion of the property back to agricultural use, including the installation of significant farming infrastructure, makes its return as an aviation facility extremely unlikely.
