A.R.S. Sport Strip

The closure was the result of a private decision by the landowner. Public records and the subsequent use of the land indicate there was no major incident, accident, or military conversion involved. The land was simply converted back to full agricultural use, a common fate for private airstrips due to economic factors, sale of the property, or the owner ceasing aviation activities.

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The land where the runway once existed is now actively farmed, typically with hay or row crops. While the faint outline of the compacted turf runway is still visible from the air, it is no longer a functional airfield. A building on the north end of the property, which was likely a hangar, appears to remain and is probably used as a farm shed or for general storage.

A.R.S. Sport Strip was a privately-owned and operated turf runway. The identifier 'US-10777' was an unofficial code used by third-party data aggregators, not an official FAA or ICAO code. The name 'A.R.S.' is believed to correspond to the initials of the owner. Its purpose, as suggested by the name 'Sport Strip', was for recreational general aviation, likely serving the owner's personal aircraft and those of invited guests. It featured a single turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long. Its significance is local, representing a personal passion for aviation and a type of small, private airfield that is becoming increasingly rare.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has been successfully converted back to productive agricultural use, a return to aviation operations is considered extremely unlikely.
