Charlies Airport

The closure is directly linked to the passing of its owner. As a private-use airfield named 'Charlies Airport', its existence and operation were dependent on the owner. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to military conversion, a specific accident, or commercial economic failure.

The site remains private property. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a clearly defined, but unmaintained and overgrown, north-south grass runway. The land appears to be part of a rural residence or farmstead. The airfield is not operational and the land is used for private residential or agricultural purposes.

Charlies Airport was a private, unregistered turf runway. Its significance was personal to its owner and the local general aviation community he may have associated with. It exclusively handled light, private aircraft for recreational flying. It was not a public-use facility and did not have scheduled commercial or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that it was a small, private strip on private land, its revival is highly unlikely. Any future use for aviation would be solely at the discretion of the current landowners and would require significant investment and potential recertification.
