Helton Heliport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. As Helton Heliport was a private facility located at a residence, the closure was most likely due to personal reasons of the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner selling the property, selling the helicopter, no longer being able to fly, or simply choosing not to maintain the FAA registration.

The site of the former heliport is now exclusively a private residential property. Satellite imagery shows a house with a large, well-maintained lawn where the landing area was located. There are no visible markings or infrastructure remaining from its time as an active heliport.

Helton Heliport held no significant historical importance. It was a private-use heliport, meaning its operations were restricted to the owner and their guests and were not for public use. It would have served as a convenient point of departure and arrival for a single, privately-owned helicopter. It did not handle any commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Helton Heliport. For it to become active again, a current or future owner of the private property would need to own a helicopter and complete the process of registering the site as a private-use heliport with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is considered highly unlikely.
