Was there ever a lot of regional action at IND? namely 90s/ early 2000s props that boarded at ground level? or any era really

Yes, there was a lot of regional action, especially with USAir, as IND was a focus city.

Flight data said DTW.

We need to check that in the original sources. That might be an error in my work.
