1988–2026 · THE POSITIVE, STATED FIRST
Three private fields, and nothing else, is the whole of it: Peterson Ultralight Flightpark (FAA identifier 36IN), one mile west of town, activated April 1990 and current in the federal record; Stewarts Green Acres Airport (IN38), two miles northwest, activated June 1992 and current; and Dillon Airport (9II3), about two miles north-northwest, withdrawn by November 2010 and absent from the current federal record. All three are or were turf strips on private ground in Liberty Township, outside the town limits. The state's public-use list closes the other side of the question: the Indiana Department of Transportation's Indiana Public Use Airports list carries exactly one St. Joseph County entry — "South Bend Regional | SBN" — and no North Liberty or Liberty Township field of any era appears in the standard abandoned-fields compilation for northern Indiana (Freeman, read whole for this name), whose sectional-chart history is the test for a charted field this section did not otherwise find. The earliest dated aviation event inside the township is not a field opening but the accident of 22 May 1988 (see its article), which proves a grass strip in use here two years before the first activation date of record.
