That's what I mean.

One of them
had a hangar and a windsock and a mowed strip; I believe that that was
a public-use airfield in the process of going private.

If it was near Andover it will stay public. Loong sorrowful story on
that one, I worked there for about 10 years. Good news is the town
bought it. Bad news is the town doesn't know what to do with it.
Buildings need some repair, but a flight operation and maintenance
shop (which used to thrive there) would be enough to get it going
again. We're working on getting through.

The others were
more basic, but all were mowed and clearly visible as runways from the
air, and were used regularly by their owners and their friends.

Thanks. You've outlined Private/Public strips. I was wondering about
the pasture aspect of it.
