🇺🇸 West Hills Co-Op Airport

Information regarding an airport specifically named "West Hills Co-Op Airport (US-3062)" located in Lost Hills, US, is not available in official records. It is highly probable that the user is referring to the Lost Hills-Kern County Airport (FAA LID: L84), which was a public airport situated approximately one mile northeast of Lost Hills in Kern County, California, United States.

The Lost Hills-Kern County Airport (L84) was officially closed in March 2019. The closure was prompted by low usage and changing land needs. In 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved the release of approximately 336 acres of the airport property from federal grant obligations, allowing Kern County to auction the land for non-aviation purposes, such as agriculture or industrial development. Proceeds from the sale were intended to be reinvested into other Kern County airports.

Historically, the airport was constructed in the 1930s and served as an auxiliary field for Minter Field, a U.S. Army World War II pilot training base, from 1942 to 1943. After World War II, it reverted to Kern County control and primarily supported local agricultural, business, and personal aviation needs. At the time of its closure, it had a single asphalt runway measuring 3,020 feet by 60 feet.

Currently, the site of the former Lost Hills-Kern County Airport (L84) is undergoing a transition, with plans for the land to be sold for non-aviation uses, which may include agricultural or industrial development. A 2023 aerial view showed the runway painted with three closed-runway "X" symbols, and a 2021 aerial view indicated that the airport's hangar had been removed.
