==== Airport ====
[[Freeman Municipal Airport]], located in Seymour, Indiana, is a public-use airport owned by the Seymour Airport Authority. Established in 1942 by the United States Army Air Forces, it was the first USAAF helicopter training school and also trained black aviators, including Tuskegee Airmen. The airport played a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement with the Freeman Field Mutiny in 1945. After World War II, it became a storage depot for captured German and Italian aircraft. The airport covers 2,100 acres and has two asphalt runways and two turf runways. It handles general aviation, air taxi, and military operations.
