I am trying to help document the aircraft and am trying to find any pictures people don't mind sharing with me of the airport through the years. I would love any and all pics that people have and would love to see some early years stuff. Thanks in advance. Chris |

Check with my Dad and the local EAA Chapter. Several of those guys have pictures from way back (Like when SBN was still Bandix field). |

A search of Aerofiles (one of my favorites) came up with a handful of a/c builders: Stauffer O L Stauffer, Elkhart IN. Stauffer Gyroplane (EAA) Gyroplane 1939 = 1pOBAg. Revolving upper wing locked in place to convert the aircraft into a biplane. Any connection with Herrick? Applegate-Weyant Ray Applegate & (?) Weyant, Tecumseh MI, Elkhart IN. Dart GC with Lycoming O-320 [N31696] (Dan Shumaker) Dart GC 1946 (ATC 674) = 2pClwM; 100hp Continental A-100. Acquisition of rights to Culver G Dart with similar data. POP: about 10 before lack of sales halted production. Hatfield Milton Hatfield, Elkhart IN. Little Bird aka Flying Wing 1986 = 1pClwM; 27hp or 50hp Rotax; span: 17'0" length: 10'0" load: 210# v: x/60/30; ff: 5/25/86. A series of Arup-like airplanes with low-aspect-ratio delta wings. POP: 3. I've found the local EAA Chapters usually have a local av history nut who you could mine for info: http://eaachapter132.org/ http://www.elkhartindiana.org/egov/docs ... 894448.htm http://www.in.gov/history/files/aviationinindiana.pdf Info is pretty sparse, good luck! |
