RUSH COUNTY - This is the 12th article in a series of writings to commemorate the Rush County Bicentennial in 2022. My last article was about Milton Wright, the father of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Milton was born and raised in Rush County.
There is much more to write concerning Rush County’s aviation history. There are several individuals and events that have shaped that legacy.
Howell brothers – Morris and Harry constructed a sod airstrip near Rushville in 1928. The airport was one mile south of town on U.S. 52. The Howell brothers operated their airport until shortly after WWII (1946). They then leased the airport and restaurant to Dick Thatcher and Lewis Ewbank, and later it was sold to Raymond Walker. The airport facilities burned in February of 1963.
