Plymouth Municipal: the field to the south — and a tie that isn't

POINTER · Marshall County's field

The nearer public field is the other county's. Plymouth Municipal Airport, C65 (FAA LID C65; IATA PLY), in the federal data display: at 41.36500, −86.30028, elevation 799.9 feet, "2 miles N of PLYMOUTH, IN," status operational, facility use open to the public, runway 10/28 of 4,400 by 75 feet — where a secondary summary gives the runway's width as 60 feet and its operations figures from 2009, the federal display governs and the stale figures are not carried. It stands on the state's public-use list. Distance: 11.36 miles straight-line south of the Lakeville town point (computed) — nearer than South Bend's field by the same measure, so the framing fact of this section is exact: Lakeville sits between two counties' public fields, a mile closer to the southern one, and has no public field of its own. The aviation tie the fact pattern invites was tested and refused: Hoosier Racing Tire's headquarters are in Lakeville and its plant in Plymouth, and no record searched ties Plymouth Municipal Airport — or any airfield — to Hoosier, to Lakeville, or to tire shipments by air; in the carriers reached the company's geography is a road fact, not an aviation fact, and it prints as a tested negative so the tie is never manufactured downstream.

Principal sources: the FAA NFDC display for C65 (chart data valid 29 October – 26 November 2026); INDOT, Indiana Public Use Airports; the company carriers named in the text (the tie test).
