Flying H Heliport

The heliport was a private facility on a residential estate. Its closure was a direct result of it no longer being needed by the property owner. The owner and primary user, Harry A. Hamilton, passed away in 2011, and the estate was subsequently sold by his family. The closure was not due to military conversion, a specific accident, or broader economic reasons.

The site is part of a large, privately-owned residential estate. Satellite imagery shows that the physical paved helipad area and an adjacent hangar-like building still exist. However, the official 'H' marking on the pad has been removed or has faded completely, and the facility is no longer registered or maintained as an active heliport.

The Flying H Heliport had no public or commercial historical significance. It was a private-use heliport built on the 'Flying H Ranch', a large estate owned by businessman and philanthropist Harry A. Hamilton. The name 'Flying H' was a reference to the Hamilton family name and the ranch itself. The heliport's sole operation was to support the private helicopter travel of the Hamilton family.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Since the facility is on private residential property, any potential reopening would be entirely at the discretion of the current landowner and would require re-registration with the FAA. This is considered highly unlikely.
