Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2013-2014. The heliport was listed as active in FAA records as late as 2012 but was designated as 'Closed Indefinitely' by 2015. Historical satellite imagery confirms the helipad markings were visible in early 2012 but had disappeared by early 2014, with the area being repurposed for ground operations.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to private business and economic reasons. As a corporate facility for Ring Power Corporation, the decision to close was likely driven by a change in the company's transportation needs, a cost-benefit analysis of maintaining a private helicopter and heliport, or a strategic decision to reallocate the land for the company's core business operations, such as equipment storage.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport is now fully integrated into the Ring Power CAT facility's equipment and vehicle storage yard. The paved area that once served as the landing pad shows no remaining markings or aviation infrastructure and is used for parking and storing heavy machinery.

Historical Significance

Ringhaver Heliport was a private-use heliport owned and operated by Ring Power Corporation, a major Caterpillar equipment dealer in Florida, at their Brooksville/Spring Hill branch. Its sole purpose was to facilitate corporate travel, allowing executives to move efficiently between the company's multiple locations, major airports, and customer sites. The heliport was named for the company's founding family. It handled no public or commercial traffic and was exclusively for company business.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Ringhaver Heliport. The FAA's official designation is 'Closed Indefinitely,' and the land has been completely repurposed for industrial use. Reopening would require significant investment and a renewed business case for private helicopter travel, making it highly unlikely.
