Porter Field

Urban encroachment and residential development. As the suburbs of Indianapolis expanded southward into Johnson County, the land occupied by the airport became increasingly valuable for housing. The airfield was sold and subsequently redeveloped into a residential subdivision.

The site of the former airport is now completely occupied by the 'Country Gate' residential housing subdivision. All traces of the runway and any associated structures like hangars have been removed. The site's aviation past is commemorated through its street names, which include 'Runway Drive', 'Piper Court', 'Cessna Drive', and 'Stinson Drive'.

Porter Field was a small, privately-owned general aviation airport established in the mid-1950s. It primarily served local private pilots and their light aircraft. The field featured a single unpaved, north-south turf runway, listed in 1968 as being 2,600 feet long. It was a typical example of the numerous small, private grass strips that supported recreational and personal flying in the post-WWII era before being consumed by suburban sprawl. It did not handle commercial or significant military operations.

None. The land has been fully and irreversibly redeveloped with high-density residential housing, making any prospect of reopening as an airport impossible.
