Not applicable. The existence of this airport is unconfirmed and appears to be based on erroneous data. There are no records of its operation or closure.
Not applicable. Extensive research of historical aviation archives, FAA records, and local history sources for the Des Moines area shows no evidence of an airport named 'De Louis Field'.
The coordinates 41.5481, -93.429199 point to a modern commercial and industrial park in Pleasant Hill, Iowa (part of the Des Moines metropolitan area). The site is fully developed with large warehouses and distribution facilities.
There is no known historical significance as the airport does not appear in any verified records. The identifier 'US-11344' is not an official ICAO code but an internal designation used by some non-authoritative databases where this phantom entry originates. Historical aerial imagery shows the designated location was farmland prior to its current development.
Not applicable. As there is no evidence the airport ever existed, there are no prospects for reopening. The land is currently occupied by a high-value commercial development.
