Sealscott Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, as Sealscott Airport was a small, privately owned airfield, its closure was most likely due to a personal decision by the owner, Robert Sealscott. Common reasons for such closures include the owner's retirement from flying, death, sale of the property, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private strip. There is no evidence it was closed due to a major accident, urban development, or military conversion.

The site is now private property and is no longer an active airfield. Current satellite imagery shows that the faint outline of the grass runway is still visible in the field, oriented east-west. The land appears to be used for agricultural or residential purposes, integrated into the surrounding farmland. The buildings that likely served as hangars or sheds at the western end of the former runway are still standing.

Sealscott Airport was a private general aviation airfield that became operational in the late 1960s or early 1970. It featured a single unpaved, turf runway (designated 9/27) with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. The airport's operations were characteristic of a small private strip, primarily serving the personal and recreational flying activities of its owner and likely a few other local pilots with permission. It would have handled small, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas and Pipers. Its historical significance is local, representing a common type of private airfield that supported general aviation in rural America during the mid-to-late 20th century.

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening Sealscott Airport. Given that the land is privately owned and has been inactive for over two decades, the likelihood of it being re-established as an airport is virtually zero. Reopening would require significant private investment and a complex re-certification process with the FAA, for which there is no apparent demand or initiative.
