Nesta Airport

The specific reason for the closure is not documented in public records. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield, the closure was most likely due to personal or economic factors. Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement or death, the sale of the property, rising liability insurance costs, or the land becoming more valuable for other uses, such as agriculture.

The site of the former Nesta Airport has been completely converted back to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a cultivated farm field where the runway once was. There are no visible remnants of any airport infrastructure, such as hangars, markers, or a windsock. The land is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

Nesta Airport was a private general aviation airfield. Its historical significance is local, representing a typical rural American airstrip. It featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, oriented roughly north-south. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessnas, Pipers) for recreational flying by the owner and other permitted pilots. It did not support commercial, cargo, or military operations. Its existence was part of a larger network of small, private fields that have been steadily disappearing from the American landscape over the past few decades.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Nesta Airport. The complete conversion of the land to active agricultural use, combined with the lack of any remaining infrastructure, makes a return to aviation activities extremely unlikely. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant investment, land acquisition, and new regulatory approvals.
