By the 1980s or 1990s the airfield had been completely plowed over into pasture. A Degree Confluence Project intersection is along the former southern tarmac. Two confluence hunters did not see any remains or even suspect them, but visit photos clearly show wide clearings and revetments grown over by vegetation.[1]
A portion of the airfield is owned by Vadim Zadorozhny with plans to build a build an expansion of his museum at the site.[2]
