I am unable to provide a summary of recent traveler reviews and experiences for "Dunbar Airport (US-10919)". My search did not yield any information for a commercial airport with this name or identifier that has readily available traveler reviews.
The closest match found was Dunbar Field (II91) in Indiana, US, which appears to be a small general aviation airport with no listed passenger reviews. Other search results for "Dunbar" pertained to a town in Scotland, a school, or general airport rankings not specific to a "Dunbar Airport" in the US. The provided airport code "US-10919" also does not correspond to a recognized commercial airport identifier.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for traveler sentiment, facilities, security, transportation, strengths, or complaints for "Dunbar Airport (US-10919)" due to a lack of relevant information.

Approximately between 1969 and 1981. The airport was depicted on the 1969 Green Bay Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 1981 edition, indicating it was closed and abandoned sometime within that 12-year period.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned airstrip in a rural area, the closure was most likely due to economic factors, such as the high cost of maintenance and insurance, or personal reasons of the owner, such as the sale of the property, retirement, or death.
The site is now private property and is completely abandoned for aviation use. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnant of the former northwest/southeast runway as a linear clearing in the forest. The surface is heavily overgrown with grass, shrubs, and small trees, making it unusable. There are no remaining airport facilities such as hangars, terminals, or fueling stations on the site. The land appears to be undeveloped woodland or recreational property.
Dunbar Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its primary function was to serve local private pilots and landowners in a remote part of Marinette County, Wisconsin. When active, it featured a single unpaved turf runway, estimated to be approximately 2,600 feet long. Its significance was purely local, providing private air access for recreational flying or transportation to the area, but it did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Dunbar Airport. Given that it has been closed for over four decades, is on private land, and the runway is in a state of complete disrepair, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require a significant private investment to acquire the land, clear the extensive vegetation, reconstruct the runway to modern standards, and obtain the necessary certifications, for which there is no apparent demand.
