Hoff Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, as Hoff Airport (formerly FAA identifier 5IA5) was a small, private-use airfield named for its owner, Robert Hoff, the closure was almost certainly due to personal circumstances. Common reasons for such closures include the owner selling the property, ceasing aviation activities due to age or health, or the owner's passing. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, environmental issues, or broader economic reasons.

The airport is permanently closed and the site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the area is an active farm field. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still slightly visible as a soil or crop discoloration, but all aviation infrastructure, such as markers or any potential hangar, has been removed.

Hoff Airport was a minor, private general aviation airfield with no major historical significance beyond serving its owner. It was first listed in aviation directories in the early 1980s. When active, it consisted of a single turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Operations were limited to light, private aircraft, likely a single-engine plane, used for the personal or business transportation of the owner.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Hoff Airport. The land is privately owned and is now integrated into surrounding farmland. Re-establishing an airport at this location is considered highly improbable.
