Winchester, IN: Former Airline Twin Drive-In to Reopen Under New Ownership

Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2016 and updated on Monday, August 13, 2018 4:18 PM

The Airline Twin Drive-In in Winchester, Indiana closed in 2014, leaving the area without a drive-in theater. Fans of seeing movies under the stars can rejoice with the news that the theater is being purchased and will reopen as the Hummel's Drive-In this summer, according to a recent article published in the Star Press:

The sale of Airline Twin Drive-In, which has been in Winchester for decades and closed in late 2014, is pending, according to Pauletta Hummel, who bought the theater with her husband, Shawn Hummel.

"It's a staple of our community ... it's been here for decades," she told The Star Press Tuesday. "We really want to bring it back to what it was before."

The two-screen theater, located directly across from the Randolph County Airport on Ind. 32 east of Winchester, features a concession stand, restrooms and a box office. The 10-acre lot is large enough for up to 500 cars and could open by the end of the summer, Hummel said.

Hummel said the theater's reopening will be limited to a single screen to start, but she said there will be plans to utilize the second screen as business increases. The Hummels are also planning on having other events at the drive-in, and will be looking for input from customers on what else the complex should host. The family is expecting to operate the theater themselves and may look to hire area high school students as part-time employees.
