Porter Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented, which is typical for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to the private owner ceasing operations for personal or economic reasons, such as the sale of the property, retirement, or the inability to afford the upkeep and liability. It was not a public-use airport, and its closure was not related to military conversion or a major accident.

The site is currently private land. Modern satellite imagery shows that the faint outline of the former runway is still visible as a linear clearing in a field. However, it is completely overgrown with grass, unmaintained, and unusable for aviation. The surrounding area is rural, consisting of private residences, farmland, and forests. The land where the airport once stood is now simply part of a larger private property.

Porter Airport (also known as Porter Field, former FAA LID: FD88) was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its operations were limited to serving its owner and any permitted guests for personal, recreational, or potentially agricultural purposes. The 1982 AOPA Airport Directory described it as a private field with a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway designated 18/36. It did not handle commercial traffic and had no known military or significant historical role beyond serving as a local private airstrip.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Porter Airport. Given that it has been closed for approximately two decades and the land is privately owned and integrated into a rural estate/farm, a return to aviation use is considered highly unlikely.
