David's Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as a small, privately-owned field (named for its operator, Richard David), its closure was most likely due to economic factors or the owner's personal circumstances (e.g., retirement, sale of the property). The land's conversion back to farmland strongly suggests that agriculture was deemed a more viable use for the property than maintaining a private airstrip.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes and is actively farmed. On current satellite imagery, the faint outline of the former northwest/southeast runway can still be discerned as a slight discoloration or pattern in the fields, but no physical airport infrastructure, such as hangars, buildings, or markings, remains.

David's Airport (former FAA identifier: 4D8) was a private general aviation airfield. It was established sometime prior to 1970 and served local private pilots. According to the 1982 AOPA Airports USA Directory, it featured a single 2,600-foot turf runway designated 15/33. The airport's significance lies in its representation of the numerous small, private-use airfields that supported personal and recreational flying across rural America during the latter half of the 20th century. It was not used for commercial or military operations.

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and has been used exclusively for agriculture for two decades, making any return to aviation use highly improbable.
