That’s not even all of them. Those are international airports with commercial flights. It’s finally changed its name to Terre Haute Regional Airport, but when I moved here, it was Terre Haute International Airport. It didn’t have commercial flights then and it doesn’t have them now.
In fact, as far as I know within the last 50 years or so, it’s been private planes, chartered flights, military planes, cargo and Con Air to the federal prison. If you wanted to fly to Acapulco, you’d have to either charter or go to the real commercial airport in Indianapolis.
Worth noting that ICE feels they can operate without compunction within 100 miles of “the border”.
p.s. They consider “the coastline” to also be “the border”.

Dunno where this map came from but it’s missing MDT and probably others like it.
