“My take on what makes Roosterville ‘International’ Airport (0N0) unique is—if you remember The Andy Griffith Show—everyone came to the barbershop. Well, here, everyone comes to the airport. We have a lot of pilots, retired pilots, and others here, so it’s just a wide spectrum of aviation enthusiasts at Roosterville—both young and old,” said Dee Stuber-Sligar. 

Her father, Paul Stuber, has owned the airport for nearly three decades. Today, he and several other family members are active in its continued operations.
