Stout AAF now closed ?

According to a Google Earth view, dated 30.8.2012, Stout AAF does not have any active runways any more. The former runways are being used for parking and storage; no aircraft or helicopters are visible except for 3 objects which might be stored Bell AH-1s.

Time for an update ? --Uli Elch (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Using Google Earth, it's plain to see where the old air strips were. Are there any public domain photos we can use to illustrate it's status as an abandoned air field? Also, is it worth mentioning that the old Airport Expressway directly connects Stout Field to the abandoned Indianapolis Airport terminal? Canute (talk) 19:45, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Name and operator

Is there any evidence that this field was ever called "Stout Army Air Field"? Hammett's article has that title, but every reference in the article is (properly) to "Stout Field." In the infobox, the United States Army is listed as the operator, but discussion in the article says the operator is the Indiana National Guard, which includes both Army and Air Force elements. --Lineagegeek (talk) 15:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

F-80 and F-101 operations?

This article lists both of these jet fighters as having been operated from this base. This seems highly unlikely given the maaximum runway length available. While the two squadrons of the Indiana ANG did operate F-80 aircraft in the 50s, this was long after the units had moved to fields in Terre Haute and Fort Wayne. Neither unit ever flew the F-101. As an aside, what evidence exists that the fairly obscure Canadian coversion of a handful of Beech Bonanzas was ever operated from this base? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:380:63E0:FCC6:354A:4802:77F4 (talk) 19:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
