From humble beginnings to the longest general-aviation runway in Northeast Indiana.
This #tbthursday photo takes us back to the early days of the DeKalb County Airport, when our original east–west runway was just 3,650 feet long. Over the decades, dedicated community support and careful planning paved the way, literally, for growth.
Fast-forward to today: as Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport, our Runway 9-27 now stretches 7,105 feet, ready to welcome everything from weekend flyers to large corporate jets. What started as a small county airstrip has become a true gateway to opportunity for Auburn and all of DeKalb County.
And wise and forward looking management.
Did You Know? Cooler fall temps call for extra prep before every flight at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport.
♨ Engine Pre-Heat: Cold oil thickens, so pilots warm engines for a smooth start.
🔋 Battery Checks: Lower temps can drain power quickly, making regular testing essential.
🌨 Frost & Moisture: Even a light layer of ice or hidden condensation must be cleared before takeoff.
✈ Runway Monitoring: Early frost means our team keeps a close eye on surfaces for safe traction.
As autumn settles in, these steps keep operations safe and efficient—part of our commitment to Efficiency in Flight, Excellence on the Ground."
