Airports · one grass strip under the town's name, and the county's field at the boundary
This ground never had an airport, and the leg prints that as a tested result, not an assumption: the federal record carries exactly one landing facility under the New Carlisle name — a private grass strip, FAA identifier IN93 — and no municipal field, airmail stop, or scheduled service ever touched Olive Township. The air history that belongs to this county belongs to its field at South Bend, and that field is entered here at boundary size, at the size its own record supports: first flight, first field, the county purchase, the name line, the famous landing, and the customs standing that made it "International." The township's part in that history is the part the record gives it — its people flew from the county's field, as they have since 1933.
First flight and first field: the region's; this ground's, a negative
item 1 — the exhibition flight and the first municipal field as separate articles
The region's first recorded airplane flight was René Simon's, in 1911: the county airport's own history carries Simon's 1911 flight as the area's first, two decades before any field existed to land on. The first field was Cadet…
The flagship field whole: 1929, 1933, and the county purchase
items 2 and 7 — purchase, opening, county purchase; the governing authority
The county's field began as a manufacturer's speculation: in 1929 Vincent Bendix purchased 610 acres northwest of South Bend, and Bendix Municipal Airport opened on the ground in 1933. The succession the floor requires followed…
The township's one strip: Hustons, IN93, at directory strength
items 9 and 11, township part — the small field the federal record carries under this town's name
One landing facility in the federal record carries the New Carlisle name: Hustons Airport, FAA identifier IN93 — a private grass strip at 41.7151° N, 86.4329° W, elevation 759 feet, with a single runway, 18/36, of 2,300 by 52…
Airmail and the war years: the era passed over this ground without landing
items 3 and 4 — the contract airway; training uses and the base that went elsewhere
No airmail ever moved through this township: no contract-airway stop, beacon field, or airmail facility is recorded for New Carlisle or Olive Township in the route records reached for this section, and the town's mail course …
The famous landing the record supports; and the name line complete
items 5 and 8 — Earhart, 1936; every name the one field has carried
The famous landing is documented for the county's field, and no larger: Amelia Earhart landed her Lockheed Electra at Bendix Field in 1936, on the field's own history's telling — a South Bend landing, printed here at boundary…
Scheduled service, intermodal, and the route map as of November 2026
items 6, 9, and 10 — timetables, numbers, and the dated present state
No timetable ever carried this town, and the leg prints the test rather than a borrowed snapshot: no carrier, in the regulated era or any other, has sold scheduled service to or from New Carlisle or Olive Township — there has…
