Sethney Personal Airport

Personal reasons. As a private, personal-use airstrip, its operation was dependent on its owner. Following the owner's death, the airport ceased to be active. The closure was not due to military conversion, broad economic factors, or a specific accident.

The site is a private residential property. Satellite imagery clearly shows the outline of the former north-south grass runway, but it is no longer maintained for aviation and now functions as a large, mowed lawn integrated into the residential grounds. The associated buildings, likely a home and a hangar, appear to remain as part of the residence.

The airport held local and personal significance rather than broad historical importance. It was a private, unpaved grass runway serving its owner for general aviation and recreational flying. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft, potentially including experimental or homebuilt planes, as the owner was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). It served as a prime example of a personal-use airfield common among aviation enthusiasts in rural America.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening. The property is privately owned, and its original purpose as a personal airport is no longer relevant. It is exceedingly unlikely to be recommissioned as an active airfield and has effectively been converted to full-time residential use.
