Hasn't existed for years. Might still be an ag strip or something there but pulled from the AIP a long time ago.

The main vector was sealed about four years ago.
There was a rumor that it was removed from the AIP due to the number of C172 doing touch and goes without asking permission from the land owner.
It is still in use as I saw a Cresco type machine operating from the strip last month.

I flew over it about 2 weeks ago and there was a Fletcher/Cresco flying out of it; it's definitely still active but as the poster above alluded to, probably no longer a published airfield for a good reason!

Thanks all,
I'm looking for a copy of the plate if anyone happened to keep it, as I binned it when it was removed from AIP
