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 longitude sits east of the band and east of the Clay–Harris line, in Harris Township, and it is a pointer only. Chain-O-Lakes Airport, 3IN7, South Bend, at 41.66255, −86.35418, lies west and south of Clay; Nelund Field in Mishawaka sits south of the township line; Cam-Air Airport is on the Elkhart County side; Rentz Ultralight is north of the state line in Cass County, Michigan. The Mishawaka Pilots Club Airport, FAA 3C1, is an Elkhart–Mishawaka facility, and the hospital and Notre Dame heliports in Portage Township — Memorial Hospital 79IN, St. Joseph Medical Center 13II, Edison Lakes 5IN2 — belong to the county frame, not this section. South Bend International Airport itself, IATA SBN, ICAO KSBN, three miles northwest of downtown South Bend, owner the St. Joseph County Airport Authority, 454,920 enplanements in 2024, is the county's airport and this section's only pointer of that size.
