Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was closed sometime between 1994 and 2002. It was still listed as an active private airfield in the 1994 AOPA Airport Directory but was officially depicted as a closed airfield on the 2002 Detroit Sectional Chart. Aerial photos show the runway was still clear in 1998, but a large industrial building had been constructed on the site by 2004, suggesting a closure in the late 1990s.

Reason for Closure

The exact reason is not officially documented, which is common for small private airfields. However, the closure was driven by economic factors and land redevelopment. The land was sold and repurposed for the development of the Tall Timbers Industrial Park, a more profitable use for the property than a private airstrip.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped. It is now occupied by the Tall Timbers Industrial Park. A large industrial facility, currently operated by Hearthside Food Solutions (formerly the Consolidated Biscuit Company), sits directly on the southern portion of the former runway. All traces of the runway, hangars, and other airport infrastructure have been removed.

Historical Significance

Tathams' Airport (FAA identifier: 4OH0) was a small, privately owned general aviation airfield. It was owned and operated by Robert Tatham. The airport first appeared on aeronautical charts around 1970 and served local pilots for recreational and personal flying. It featured a single unpaved, north-south turf runway that was approximately 2,600 feet long. It was never a commercial or military airport and primarily supported the personal aviation activities of its owner and associates.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero prospects for reopening. The land has been permanently repurposed for large-scale industrial use, making any return to aviation operations impossible.
