Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is not documented in public records. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airport appeared well-maintained and active until at least 2017. By 2020-2022, the runway shows significant overgrowth and lack of maintenance, suggesting the airport was closed sometime in the late 2010s, likely between 2018 and 2020.

Reason for Closure

There is no officially stated reason for the closure. As a private airstrip located on a farm, the closure was almost certainly a private decision by the landowner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner ceasing to fly (due to age or health), the sale of the aircraft or property, prohibitive costs of insurance and maintenance, or a change in land use priorities for the farm. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, regulatory action, or urban development.

Current Status

The site remains agricultural land. As of the latest satellite imagery, the faint outline of the former turf runway is still visible from the air, but it is overgrown and is no longer maintained or used for aviation. The land has been integrated back into the surrounding fields of Pleasant View Farm. There are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or fueling stations visible.

Historical Significance

Pleasant View Farm Airport was a small, private-use airstrip. Its significance was purely local, serving the owner of the farm on which it was located. It consisted of a single north-south turf runway (approximately 2,400 feet long). Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine general aviation aircraft, used for personal/recreational flying and potentially for agricultural purposes like surveying the farmland. It was not a public-use airport and did not handle commercial, charter, or significant flight training operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As it was a private facility on private land, any decision to reopen would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given that it has been closed for several years and is reverting to farmland, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
