Red Stewart Airfield is a family owned and operated airfield two miles southwest of Waynesville. The grass-field airport is popular with taildragger and sailplane pilots. The Stewart family is dedicated to the preservation of grass roots aviation.
Emerson "Red" Stewart established the field in 1946. The airport is now owned by Red's eldest son, Emerson Jr. "Cub," and his wife Cathy. Their daughter Sara manages the family business, Stewarts Aircraft Service, and their and son Emerson III is the chief Instructor.
Red Stewart was a barnstormer whose mastery of a Piper Cub made him a local legend. Some of his antics included flying the plane while sitting outside on a wingstrut, and flying loops that touched his wheels to the ground at the bottom. Working for Frigidaire in Dayton in the mid-1940s, he would fly to work and land on the plant's parking lot.
Glider flying is available on the field. It is also close to Caesar Creek Gliderport, the private flying field of the Caesar Creek Soaring Club.
Nearby Waynesville is known for its antique shops. The surrounding area has many natural and recreational resources, especially along the scenic Little Miami River.
