Weiss Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. However, for a small, privately owned airfield like Weiss Airport, closure is typically due to the owner's decision, such as retirement from aviation, sale of the property for other uses (in this case, agriculture), or the owner's passing. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the former runway area is now an active farm field. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure on the site.

Weiss Airport (formerly assigned the FAA identifier 3KS4) was a private general aviation airfield. It was established between 1970 and 1977 and owned by Wilbur Weiss. The airport consisted of a single turf runway (17/35) with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its operations were limited to private, light general aviation aircraft. The airport's significance was local, serving as a personal landing strip for its owner and likely a few other local pilots. It was never a commercial, public-use, or military facility.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Weiss Airport. The land is privately owned and has been utilized for farming for over two decades. Re-establishing an airport would require significant investment to repurchase and redevelop the land, for which there is no apparent demand or initiative.
