Nothing left but the runway. Pretty sad, grew up about a mile off the end of the runway, used to be very busy with well over a hundred based planes... sigh
We were flying from Huntington to Indiana last week and stopped at Vinton County for the first time since Manyak took care of the place. I used to fly into this airport a lot and was shocked at what I found. There are people, as far as I can tell, actually living at the airport. There's garbage and dirty clothes everywhere and it looks like a clubhouse or something. Part of the ceiling had collapsed. My wife said it was actually frightening to go into what is left of the terminal. And don't even ask about the smell.
Priebe was where I remember flying out of as a kid in the 1980's and early 1990's. Sometime around 2010 the airport was sold to the county sanitation and the landfill is very nearby. However, you can still see remnants of the runway (cut in half with a road dissecting it and in very poor shape) as well as the aircraft tiedowns just west of the former runway. The old prop shop (which operated as an event space prior to being sold) has been torn down, but the hangar that Jim Priebe built in the late 1980's is still in use by the landfill for storing equipment.
We spent some time here in August of 2012 and found the owners of Tailwinds Aviation to be very friendly and hospitable. Services were fairly priced including fuel. The airport is well maintained and I would not hesitate to recommend it for most light aircraft.
41N - Privately owned; public use. 30 x 3000 ft asphalt runway; no fuel or svcs. 4th Annual Musical Fly-In, June 28, 2009! Don't miss it.

Bad runway

— @flopp at Va Hospital Heliport, United States
The referenced runway 06/24 seems to belong to the 'Semnan New Airport' in Iran, see http://ourairports.com/airports/IR-OI21
The problem is probably the coinciding identifier US-OI21 vs. IR-OI21
