Boundary west and northwest: other builds' strips

POINTER · Lincoln and Liberty Township ground

West and northwest, the ring closes with strips that belong to sister builds. In Lincoln Township, on the Walkerton build's ground, the closest-fields and directory records name Drake Field, May's Strip 87IN (1,320 feet of turf in the directory line), Stuntz & Hochstetler Pines Airport and Dreessen Field 17II (2,600 feet of turf) — names at pointer size only, none of them Union Township's. In Liberty Township, banked whole by the sister build and carried here for the comparison the leg requires: Peterson Ultralight Flightpark, 36IN (activated April 1990, current; 8.73 miles computed), Stewarts Green Acres, IN38 (activated June 1992, current; 9.25 miles) and Dillon, 9II3 (withdrawn by November 2010; 10.72 miles). North of the township at pointer size: Chain-O-Lakes, 3IN7, in the South Bend postal area (9.97 miles computed). The comparison is the finding: three of the four townships adjoining Union hold registered strips, and Union — the township of the lakes, whose flat drained farmland is the same ground its neighbours fly from — holds none in any record reached. Nothing about that asymmetry is explained by any carrier, and the build offers no explanation of its own.
