Zeigler Landing Strip

The airport's closure was the direct result of the death of its private owner. It was not closed for economic, military, or safety reasons in the traditional sense, but rather because the sole individual responsible for its operation and use was no longer able to maintain it. This is a common reason for the closure of personal, private-use airfields.

The site remains a private residential and agricultural property. As of the most recent satellite imagery, the physical turf runway is still clearly visible and appears to be mowed, but it is no longer considered an active or registered airfield. There are no aircraft, hangars, or support facilities visible that would indicate ongoing aviation activity. The land is primarily used for farming, consistent with the surrounding area.

Zeigler Landing Strip was a privately owned and operated turf runway with no significant commercial or public historical importance. Its primary function was to serve the personal, general aviation needs of its owner. The runway was approximately 2,700 feet long with a north-south orientation. Operations would have consisted of small, single-engine aircraft suitable for grass field takeoffs and landings. The airport represents a typical example of the thousands of personal-use airfields established across rural America by aviation enthusiasts for recreational flying and personal transport. The identifier 'US-10627' is an internal catalog number from airport database websites and not an official ICAO code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Zeigler Landing Strip. As a private airfield intrinsically linked to its late owner, its reactivation would be solely at the discretion of the current property owners. This would require them to have a specific interest in aviation, the resources to maintain the strip to safe standards, and the desire to operate a private airport. Given these circumstances, the prospect of it reopening is considered extremely low.
