Anderson most well-used local airport
WWII Navy Trainer Visits Anderson Municipal Airport
A vintage Navy trainer aircraft roared to a stop just outside the hangar. Inside, more than 250 people including Anderson Mayor Kris Ockomon, his wife Ann, and State Representative Jack Lutz, were enjoying a breakfast of all-you-can-eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee and orange juice.
This Fly-In, Cruise-In breakfast hosted by the Anderson Municipal Airport delighted guests who meandered their way though vintage and specialty aircraft as well as classic and hotrod cars.
Municipal is one of the best-utilized amongst local airports according to a recent article in the Muncie Star Press.
"Local airport managers [say] that smaller airports are worth the investment because they relieve air traffic congestion, contribute to the local economy and help communities attract and maintain businesses."

Finally, the Herald Bulletin agrees with us:
I-69 will bring plenty of opportunities for good growth and future prosperity, so there is no compelling reason to take the prime interstate-accessible land around Pendleton and Lapel and make a non-taxable airport out of it. In fact, their January 30, 2008, editorial supports this very position.
Our area will need more sources of revenue as property tax relief strips local schools and towns of traditional sources of funding. Divesting ourselves of potential tax revenue by building a redundant airport on prime development land makes no sense at all.
Finally, the Herald Bulletin agrees with us:
"Anderson has taken serious economic hits over the past three decades. Some say we’re not positioned for growth. They would be wrong, and I-69 is the primary reason. When you look at the Flagship Center and various retail and business facilities popping up along the interstate through Madison County, you’re looking at the future."
