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, with their activation and status from the FAA record where it was reached, and the county's airport — South Bend International, three miles northwest of downtown South Bend in Portage Township, owner the St. Joseph County Airport Authority, opened as Bendix Municipal Airport in 1933 and renamed on 23 April 2014 — at pointer only. The sweep band was latitude about 41.68 to 41.76 and longitude about −86.15 to −86.33, the township's ground. One facility in the band carries a first-hand FAA record; the rest carry their owners and activation dates as open gaps, stated as such rather than asserted.

Sources: the FAA NFDC record for IN67 (the one first-hand FAA read); the FAA-derived facility lists (City-Data; Pilot Getaways; AirplaneManager) for the coordinates and status stated below; South Bend International Airport's history page and the airport record (the county pointer).
