Heliports, the six aircraft that are not a facility, and the closing account

November 2026 · tested negatives and named gaps

The heliport test is negative, and the one number that looks like an air facility in the town's data is not one. No registered heliport in Lakeville or Union Township was found in any carrier searched — the township has no hospital, and no heliport at the fire territory or at any school was returned; the nearest registered heliports print at pointer size as other builds' ground (a county heliport at Plymouth; the Bremen Community Hospital heliport; the South Bend and Mishawaka hospital heliports). A place-profile carrier's line for Lakeville — "FAA Registered Aircraft: 6" — is a count of registered aircraft by owner's place, not a facility, and the build prints the caution so the six are never converted into a strip, a base or a field. Tested negative, each at its stated strength: any FAA-registered airport or strip in Union Township, current or historical (directory and FAA-summary strength, the article above); any registered heliport in the township (the same sweeps); any airport-board accident on this ground (search and summary strength); a first or exhibition flight, an airmail facility, a war-years aviation use, a famous landing, and an air show, race or fly-in on this ground (search strength, searches named); an airport tie for the town's anchor company (search strength); a registered seaplane base on Riddles Lake (the facility lists). Named gaps carried forward: G-AIR-1, the parcel-level federal 5010 pull against the township bounds (the township negative's completing settler); G-AIR-2, the direct CAROL location query for Lakeville, Indiana (the accident negative's completing settler); G-AIR-3, the airway beacon line at the township's northern edge (beacon-site records); G-AIR-4, activation dates for Sherk Field II38 and Ames Field 46IN (no AirNav page for either was returned despite targeted searches — reported as a limit, not worked around); G-AIR-5, the Riddles Lake event's exact date and original source of record; G-AIR-6, a Lakeville or town-paper archive (the residual settler for the standard tests); G-AIR-7, South Bend International's verified November 2026 carrier set (the South Bend build's gap, carried here as the pointer's limit). No image candidates are banked for this section beyond the one row in the note: there is no Lakeville field to photograph, and the strips around the township are other builds' subjects — the Riddles Lake press photograph stands as this section's single candidate, terms-check only, and no photograph of another township's strip is substituted for Lakeville's ground.
