Default Crows Landing Airport

Theres this really weird airport in my area called Crows landing. Its
charted on the sectional just like any other airport, except it had
the word "(CLOSED)" written underneath. Does anyone know why they
chose to chart is like that and not the normal circle with an "X"
through it?


Navigation landmark and emergency purposes.


Are you allowed to do that? Land at an airport that is charted as
"closed"? As long as the runways are in good condition (which they
are), is it OK to land there?


No.

Can the FAA bust you for any violation
for doing something like that?


Yup.

I thought you were a CFI?
