Nixon Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately owned airstrip, its closure was most likely due to factors common to such facilities, such as the sale of the property, the owner ceasing aviation activities, the owner's death, or the rising costs and liability associated with maintaining a private airfield.

The site is currently private agricultural land. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the remnant of the former north-south grass runway. While the outline is still visible, the land is now part of a farm and is surrounded by cultivated fields. The property includes a private residence and farm buildings, consistent with its history as a farmstead airstrip.

Nixon Airport was a small, private general aviation airstrip, likely named for its owner. It was operational from at least 1965 to the early 1970s. Its primary function was to serve the personal and recreational flying needs of its owner, and potentially for agricultural purposes given its rural location. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved turf runway oriented north-south, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. It never had commercial or military operations. The identifier 'US-11475' is not an official FAA or ICAO code but a catalog number from a third-party database; the airport was never assigned an official FAA Location Identifier.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Nixon Airport. The airfield has been officially closed for approximately 50 years, and the land is fully integrated into private agricultural use. Re-establishing an airport on the site would be prohibitively complex and expensive, making the prospect of it reopening virtually non-existent.
