Ray's Roost Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as a small, private airfield, the closure was most likely due to the owner ceasing operations for personal reasons, such as retirement, the sale of the property, the cost of maintenance, or loss of interest in flying. This is a common fate for small, private-use airfields.

The site is now private residential and agricultural land. The former runway area is still a visible, cleared grassy field but is no longer maintained as a landing strip. Trees and other vegetation are encroaching on the periphery. The property includes a private home and outbuildings at the northwest end of the former runway. It is not used for any aviation activities.

Ray's Roost Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its significance was limited to local, private use. It consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, oriented approximately northwest/southeast. Operations would have been restricted to light, single-engine aircraft for recreational flying or personal transportation by the owner and possibly invited guests. It held no known commercial, military, or major historical significance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Ray's Roost Airport. The airfield has been officially closed and non-operational for over three decades, and the land has been fully converted to private, non-aviation use.
