As mentioned early, I am trying to entertain myself on a Sunday afternoon. So, here's a little information about past carriers and destinations at IND.

-Air Florida: Served CVG and CMH from '82-'84.
-Braniff II: Served MCI and MCO form '88-'89.
-Ozark: Served STL, PHI, MCO, and DSM from '83-'86.
-Piedmont: Served CLT from '89.
-Presidential Airways: Served IAD from '85-'86.
-Valujet: Served ATL from '94-'96.
-Florida Express: Served MCO from '84-'86.
-Western Pacific: Served DEN and COS from '97.
-Midway: Served 'RDU from '00?.

If you guys know anymore, feel free to add them.

I think Delta or Eastern offered nonstop service from Melbourne, FL to Indianapolis back in the late 80's.

That's fine, just make sure you use the 737 for more routes then Independence did.

TWA -- was in the A concourse for years.

Current airlines with previous destinations --

Delta -- service to Orlando & Tampa (and Ft. Lauderdale?) under the Delta Express banner
