Kenley's Mustang Prairie Ranch Airport

The exact reason for the closure is not publicly documented. As a private airstrip tied to a specific property (Mustang Prairie Ranch), the closure was most likely due to a change in the property's ownership, the owner no longer being an active pilot, or the high cost of maintenance and insurance for a private airfield. There is no information to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military purposes.

The site remains a private ranch. Recent satellite imagery shows that the physical turf runway is still clearly visible and appears to be well-maintained and mowed. An adjacent building that likely served as a hangar is also still standing. However, it is no longer a registered or charted airport and is not legally usable as such by the general public. The land is used for private residential and agricultural/ranching purposes.

Kenley's Mustang Prairie Ranch Airport was a private-use airfield. Its primary function was to serve the residents and guests of the large ranch on which it was located. The operations would have consisted of general aviation aircraft, likely single-engine propeller planes (like Cessnas or Pipers), suitable for landing on its approximately 3,000-foot unpaved turf runway. The airport's significance was not commercial or public, but rather a utility for the private landowner, providing convenient personal transportation and recreational flying opportunities.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport to the public or having it re-charted for private use. Any decision to reactivate the airstrip would be entirely up to the current landowner and would require a formal process with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be recognized and published on aeronautical charts again. It is highly unlikely to be reopened for any public function.
