Long Airport

Economic reasons and land repurposing. As a small, privately owned airfield, its closure was not due to a major event. The land was converted back to farmland, a common fate for private grass strips when the owner ceases aviation activities, sells the property, or finds the land more valuable for agriculture.

The site is currently used as agricultural farmland. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows cultivated fields where the runway once was. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still slightly visible as a soil and crop mark, but no aviation infrastructure remains. The land has been fully reclaimed for farming.

Long Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its primary significance was to its owner, Robert Long, and potentially a few local pilots. It consisted of a single unpaved turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. The airfield supported light, single-engine aircraft and was never intended for commercial or public use. It did not have a significant role in military or transportation history, serving only as a personal-use landing strip.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Long Airport. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding agricultural properties, and there is no economic or community demand to re-establish a private airfield at this location. The prospect of it ever reopening as an airport is virtually zero.
