Golden Harvest Flying Svc Inc Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, the closure is consistent with patterns for small, privately-owned airfields dedicated to a single business. It is highly probable that the airport closed for economic reasons, such as the cessation of the Golden Harvest Flying Service business, or the owner's retirement. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed for military conversion, urban development, or due to a major accident.

The airport is permanently closed and the site has reverted to private agricultural land. As of the early 2020s, satellite imagery shows the faint, grassy outline of the former runway, which is now indistinguishable from the surrounding fields. A small building, believed to be the original hangar or office, still stands on the western edge of the former airfield. The land is part of a private farm and is not accessible to the public.

Golden Harvest Flying Svc Inc Airport, also known by its former FAA identifier FL60, was a private airfield that served a critical role in the local agricultural industry. Its primary and likely sole purpose was to support agricultural aviation, commonly known as crop dusting. A 1998 FAA directory confirmed this, listing the owner as 'Golden Harvest Flying SVC' and including the remark 'Agri-operations only'. The airfield featured a single north/south turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 2,600 feet in length. It was a base for agricultural aircraft supporting the farms in and around Jay, Florida, which is a significant agricultural area.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Having been closed for approximately two decades and fully integrated back into private farmland, its potential for reactivation as an aviation facility is virtually non-existent.
