Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Closure Date

Between 1987 and 1993. The airport was depicted on the 1987 Washington Sectional Chart but was no longer listed on the 1993 edition, indicating it was closed and decommissioned within that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to private economic reasons or a change in the owner's circumstances. Common factors for such closures include the owner no longer flying, the sale of the property, the prohibitive cost of maintenance and insurance, or the owner's passing. The airport simply ceased operations and the land reverted to its primary agricultural use.

Current Status

The site is currently part of an active farm. Modern satellite imagery clearly shows that the land where the runway was located has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. While the faint, straight outline of the former runway is still discernible from the air as a mowed grass strip, there are no remaining aviation infrastructures such as hangars, markings, or a windsock. The land is used as a field, consistent with the surrounding farmland.

Historical Significance

Highview Farms Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. It consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, oriented approximately north/south, with a length of about 2,600 feet. Its operations were exclusively for private use, likely serving the personal and business transportation needs of the farm's owners with light, single-engine aircraft. It had no commercial, public, or military significance and served no role beyond supporting the activities of Highview Farms.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that it has been closed for over 30 years and the land is privately owned and fully integrated into agricultural operations, the likelihood of it ever being reinstated as an airfield is virtually zero.
