[Roger Long]

Are 9B4 (Shirley) and 6B6 (Minuteman Field) gone for good?

The notam for 6B6 says that runway 12/30 is closed UFN. Not the airport.

Shirley has been closed for at least a couple of years, but for some
reason it's only NOTAM'd that way. It's not X'd out on the charts.

The area around Shirley is full of the meanest anti-noise Nazis around.
They've been going after just about every airplane that flies over the
area, particularly aerobatic pilots. Their avowed goal is to have all
recreational flying outlawed.

Some airfields in New Hampshire are "closed" during the winter. This
relieves the airport owner of the responsibility of plowing the
runway.

August seems a bit drastic, however! Maybe the problem feared was wet
leaves on the runway?
