Airports: Clay Township's Fields
The Frame: No Airfield in Roseland; the Township's Fields Are the Leg
the township frame
No airfield, strip or heliport stands inside the town of Roseland, and none ever did. The leg therefore runs at township size, as the plan orders: the Federal Aviation Administration-registered facilities on Clay Township ground…
The First Field: the Original South Bend Airport, Now Cadet Field, in Granger
the county's first airport, on Clay ground
South Bend's first airport stood on Clay Township ground, in present-day Granger. The original South Bend Airport lay northeast of the city, north of State Road 23 and west of Fir Road — ground that is Granger today, in Clay…
C. V. Airport, II43: the Township's Grass Strip
a turf field in western Granger
The township's one current airfield is a grass strip in western Granger. C. V. Airport, FAA identifier II43, stands at N41.74795, W86.19908, in the western quarter of Granger that lies in Clay Township, at about 780 feet of elevation, with a single 1,200-foot turf runway. The FAA-derived facility lists print it as operational, with one runway. The field's neighbours make its township call clear: it sits well west of the Clay–Harris line, on the same western Granger ground that holds the hospital heliport below, while the township's other grass field, Foos Field, lies east of that line and belongs to Harris Township's file.

WNDU Heliport, 7II4: Closed, Known from One Listing
a closed facility on the 933 corridor
One closed heliport is known in this section only from a single secondary listing. WNDU Heliport, FAA identifier 7II4, appears in a world airport-codes alphabetical list as "Wndu > Closed | Closed | South Bend." The station's studios stand on State Road 933 in the Clay Township corridor, which is the whole of the location the record gives. No coordinates, no owner and no FAA record of its own were retrieved; the facility is registered as gap G-AIR-3, with its FAA record as the settler, and it is printed here at moderate strength, from the one listing, so the negative sweep of the band does not silently omit it.

The Near Misses: Fields That Are Not Clay Township's
the pointer roll
The township's edges are fixed by the fields just outside them. Foos Field, FAA IN82, Granger, is the nearest: a 2,400-foot turf runway at about 790 feet, coordinates N41.75209, W86.08752, listed as operational — but its…
