Approximately between 1995 and 2005. The airport was still depicted on a 1993 topographical map and visible in a 1995 aerial photo, but by a 2006 aerial photo, the runway area had been converted to farmland.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, the evidence strongly suggests the closure was due to a change in land use, likely for economic reasons. The conversion of the airfield back into agricultural land is a common outcome for small, privately-owned airfields when the owner retires, passes away, or finds the land more valuable for other purposes.
The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the area of the former runway is now an indistinguishable part of a larger cultivated farm field. No remnants of hangars, runway markers, or other aviation infrastructure are visible.
Kimray Airport (formerly FAA LID: 3MO1) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was established sometime between 1965 and 1972 by its owners, Kim and Ray Jones, whose first names were combined to create the airport's name. It primarily served the local private flying community. The airfield featured a single unpaved turf runway, listed as being 2,600 feet long. It was never a commercial or military facility and handled only light, single-engine aircraft for recreational purposes.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Kimray Airport. The land has been actively farmed for nearly two decades, making any return to aviation use extremely unlikely.
