Ohlendorf Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a privately owned agricultural airstrip, the closure was most likely due to economic factors, the owner ceasing operations (e.g., due to retirement), or the decision to sell or repurpose the land. The complete conversion of the site back into farmland strongly suggests the land's agricultural value outweighed its use as an airfield.

The airport site has been completely reclaimed and is now used for agriculture. Modern satellite imagery shows no remaining trace of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding cultivated fields.

Ohlendorf Airport was a private airfield that primarily supported local agricultural operations, a vital industry in the Arkansas Delta. It was established sometime between 1945 and 1963 and was owned and operated by W.F. Ohlendorf. The airport typically handled small, single-engine aircraft used for crop dusting and other farm-related transportation. The 1982 AOPA Airport Directory listed it as having a single 2,640-foot turf runway (18/36). Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for aerial application services for the surrounding farms.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Ohlendorf Airport. All infrastructure has been removed, and the land has been repurposed for farming for over two decades, making a future conversion back to an airfield extremely unlikely.
