Mundron Field

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. However, for a small, private turf airfield like Mundron Field, closure is typically due to economic factors, the owner's retirement or death, or the sale of the land for other purposes. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The site of the former Mundron Field has been completely converted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (41.705601, -84.373596) shows the former runway area is now a cultivated farm field. While the faint outline of the north/south runway is still slightly visible due to soil and vegetation differences, all aviation infrastructure is gone. A few buildings, which may be repurposed hangars or newer farm structures, remain on the western edge of the property.

Mundron Field was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. It was established sometime between 1953 and 1965. When active, it featured a single 2,200-foot north/south turf runway. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft, likely for recreational flying and potentially agricultural purposes, given its rural location. It served as a local landing strip for private pilots and was owned by S. Mundron. The airfield never grew into a major commercial or transport hub and represents a typical example of the thousands of private grass strips that were common in the mid-20th century United States.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Mundron Field. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. The cost of reacquiring the land and re-establishing an airport to modern standards would be prohibitive, and there is no apparent demand, with other public-use airports like Fulton County Airport (KUSE) serving the region.
