Windhaven Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented, but as a small, privately-owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to the owner's decision to cease operations. This is common for private strips and can be due to the owner's retirement, death, sale of the property, or the prohibitive cost of maintenance and insurance. The land was subsequently converted back to agricultural use, suggesting there was no intention to continue aviation activities.

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows open farmland. The former turf runway is no longer visible and has been plowed over and integrated into the surrounding crop fields. The original farmhouse and some outbuildings, one of which may have served as a hangar, still exist on the property to the east of the former runway's location, now appearing to be a private residence and farm.

Windhaven Airport (formerly bearing the FAA Location ID 2WI2) was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. It was not a major commercial or military hub and its significance was primarily local. Established sometime between 1965 and 1970, it featured a single 2,500-foot north/south turf runway (Runway 18/36). Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft typical of private recreational flying. The 1982 AOPA directory listed the owner as Marvin Siemers. It served as a personal airfield for its owner and likely a few local pilots, representing a common type of grassroots aviation facility that was once more prevalent across the rural United States.

None. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. There are no known plans, proposals, or any prospects for Windhaven Airport to be reopened. Its conversion back to agriculture and the passage of over two decades since its closure make its revival as an aviation facility extremely unlikely.
