Not sure what to think about this. Would have preferred that the county bought it.

It'll stay an airport until the next housing boom.

Yeah, little doubt of that. But what a strange airport. Didn't the guy scrape off the topsoil from the entire airport grounds and sell it? And was there not a sub-scale railway that went around the airport perimeter? Its been years since I've been there, and it was dark to boot...

it was a strange airport.
Brown took about 50 feet rock and sold it. He likely
made several million in the process. There used to
be a small ferris wheel and other rides and a little
train that circled a large part of the airport. Most
of the buildings are falling apart and the runway
needs millions of $ in repair. Think of him as an
airport slum lord.

You never could get them to plow the runway so winter ops was dicey at best.

It could have been a great airport, it'll soon be a
good community.
