TESTED NEGATIVE · the search set named
No FAA-registered airport, airstrip, or heliport in Lakeville or Union Township was found in any carrier searched. The sweeps, in the order run: the state airports list of a national airport-directory carrier, which states 480 airports, strips and seaplane bases for Indiana — a find for "Lakeville" on the opened list returned no match at all; the FAA-registered facilities list for Indiana (airports, heliports and other landing facilities), read alphabetically whole — no Lakeville, Indiana entry of any type; the state transportation department's public-use airports list — St. Joseph County's entry is South Bend's field, and no Lakeville or Union Township field appears; the standard abandoned-and-little-known-airfields record for northern Indiana, whose contents name fields from Aretz to Stair — no Lakeville, Union Township or La Paz field; and the closest-fields lists around Plymouth Municipal, entries 1–100, in which the fields ringing Lakeville appear south and west while no field appears in the Lakeville/Union Township gap between the Marshall County cluster and the North Liberty cluster. The test box was the township itself (about latitude 41.47–41.57, longitude −86.34 to −86.21). The strength of the negative is stated as carefully as the negative: it stands at directory and FAA-summary strength — the strength at which the sister build's township strips were all found — and not at a parcel-level pull of the federal 5010 database against the township bounds, which is named as the settling gap (gap G-AIR-1). A town that never had a field can still have had an unregistered farm strip in some decade; the record classes that would show one (the town paper's file, gap G-AIR-6) are named, and nothing stronger is claimed than the searches carry.
