Not applicable. The airport at this location, officially known as Pope Field (FAA: 8II2), is not closed and remains operational. The identifier 'US-11466' and the 'closed' status originate from a non-official, public-contributed database (OurAirports.com) where the information is outdated or erroneous. Official FAA records confirm the airport has been continuously active since its activation date.
Not applicable, as the airport is operational. The name 'Farm Strip' is likely a descriptive or former name for this private airfield, which was never officially closed.
The site is an active, private-use airport named Pope Field (FAA: 8II2). It is privately owned by Pope, Inc. and requires permission before landing. Satellite imagery confirms a well-maintained grass runway and at least one hangar structure at the south end of the field. It is used for general aviation purposes.
The airport, Pope Field (8II2), was officially activated in April 1978. It has served as a private general aviation airfield since its inception. Its primary function is for the personal and business use of its owner, Pope, Inc., and invited guests. The facility consists of a single, well-maintained north/south turf runway (18/36) measuring approximately 2,600 by 100 feet. Its significance lies in its role as a private aviation asset for local use in Hancock County, Indiana, rather than for public or commercial operations.
Not applicable, as the airport is currently open and operational.
