The War Assets Administration eventually turned the air base over to local government officials.
  Since then the installation has been operated by the city of Herington as its municipal airport.

The airport maintains a small portion of the N/S runway along with a small portion of the parking apron for aircraft use.
  Otherwise the remainder of the wartime airfield is abandoned.
 The NW/SE and SW/NE runways have been reduced to a single lane concrete road, with cattle feeding yards to the east and west sides of the road.
  About half of the N/S runway is abandoned along with the majority of the large aircraft parking apron and associated taxiways.
 Two of the wartime hangars remain in use, one as part of an open storage yard, the other in a non-aviation use.

Most of the station area is unused with many concrete foundations of the former wartime station buildings evident.
  A few wartime buildings appear to be standing, although they are in a severe state of disrepair.
   The station area has some light industrial companies and some wartime streets are evident in photography.

The former wartime airfield can be reached travelling east on U.S. Route 56 from Herington.
