Redhouse Airfield

While no official reason is documented, the closure of a small, private turf airstrip like Redhouse Airfield was most likely due to economic or personal reasons. Common factors for such closures include the owner selling the property, ceasing flying activities due to age or cost, or the land being repurposed for more profitable use, such as agriculture. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site of the former Redhouse Airfield is now private agricultural land. The area where the runway once existed is currently used as a hay field or pasture. Although all airport infrastructure has been removed, the faint, linear outline of the former north-south runway is still clearly visible in modern satellite imagery. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland.

Redhouse Airfield was a small, private general aviation facility. It is first known to have appeared on aeronautical charts in 1965. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved, north-south turf runway with a length of approximately 2,400 feet. Its operations were limited to serving private pilots for recreational or personal use, and potentially light agricultural aviation. It was never a commercial or public-use airport and held no significant military role. The identifier 'US-10769' is not an official ICAO or FAA code but a non-standard identifier used by certain third-party aviation databases to catalog abandoned airfields.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Redhouse Airfield. Having been officially closed for approximately 50 years and the land fully converted to agricultural use by its private owners, the likelihood of it ever being re-established as an aviation facility is virtually zero.
