Karsner Air Field was built after World War II, and its owner and operator, Harry Clark Karsner, a flight instructor during the war, brought aviation to Owen County. A neon sign on Karsner’s four-plane hangar proclaimed, Christ is the Answer, and he took this message to the sky by broadcasting sermons from the air. He served Owen County as a magistrate, the director of First Farmers Bank, a member of the Owen County Board of Education, a deacon of Old Cedar Baptist Church, and state Aeronautics Commissioner. He flew his “Gospel Plane” broadcasting recorded sermons over Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.
