In 1999, Ohio Airships was founded and used space at Alliance Airport to build and test a prototype of a patented airship. The first prototype was completed in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Ohio Airship Inc. co-founder Brian Martin stands in front of the Dynalifter prototype, Thursday, Dec. 29, 2005, at Barber Airport north of Alliance, Ohio. Martin and co-founder, Robert Rist, who started Ohio Airships Inc. in 1999, think they are close to testing a prototype of their patented Dynalifter hybrid. They announced last week that their airship, part blimp and part airplane, has been completed, and they hope to conduct a test flight this spring.

|||
For the 12-month period ending July 23, 2020, the airport averages 12,410 aircraft operations, an average of 34 per day. This includes 99% [[general aviation]] and <1% [[Military aviation|military]]. For the same time period, 26 aircraft were based at the airport, all single-engine [[airplane]]s.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> |
|||
Though there is a [[fixed-base operator]] at the airport, it does not sell [[Aviation fuel|fuel]], and services are limited.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Barber Aircraft FBO Info & Fuel Prices at Barber (2D1) |url=http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/2D1/services/FBO/Barber_Aircraft |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=FlightAware |language=en}}</ref> |

== Accidents and incidents == |
|||
* On August 12, 1998, an [[Aeronca Champion|Aeronca Champion 7FC]] was substantially damaged when it struck trees and impacted terrain while on approach to the Barber Airport. A witness reported watching the airplane perform touch-and-go landings at Barber. On the fourth landing attempt, the airplane extended its downwind leg and looked "very low" on final approach. On final, as it approached the Berlin Lake, the aircraft impacted trees and suddenly pitch nose down with no pitch changes prior to the impact. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to maintain altitude/clearance during the approach which resulted in an in-flight collision with trees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Champion 7FC crash in Ohio (N8520E) {{!}} PlaneCrashMap.com |url=https://planecrashmap.com/plane/oh/N8520E/ |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=planecrashmap.com}}</ref> |
|||
* On September 1, 2007, a [[Schweizer SGS 2-33|Schweizer SGS 2-33A]] [[Glider (aircraft)|glider]] crashed while on approach to the Barber Airport. The pilot, who normally set the altimeter to zero prior to takeoff, distracted during the preflight and forgot to reset the altimeter, which was set to field elevation, approximately 1,000 feet. This resulted in the pilot releasing from the tow 1,000 feet lower than what he thought he was. The pilot stated the glider hit the tops of trees while on final approach. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's inattentiveness during the aircraft preflight and his failure to maintain clearance above the trees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schweizer SGS 2-33A crash in Ohio (N65832) {{!}} PlaneCrashMap.com |url=https://planecrashmap.com/plane/oh/N65832/ |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=planecrashmap.com}}</ref> |
|||
* On November 1, 2007, a [[Piper PA-28 Cherokee|Piper PA-28]] crashed during landing at the Barber Airport. The airplane did not decelerate as the pilot depressed the toe brake pedals, although he felt pressure through the pedals. The pilot realized that the airplane was going to run off the end of the runway and decided to shutdown the engine and turnoff the master electrical switch. He was "standing on the brakes as hard as possible" when the airplane impacted an airport perimeter fence, traveled through a ditch, and onto a nearby road. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's inadvertent activation of the parking brake, which resulted in the toe brakes becoming ineffective.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Piper PA-28-151 crash in Ohio (N5733W) {{!}} PlaneCrashMap.com |url=https://planecrashmap.com/plane/oh/N5733W/ |access-date=2023-07-04 |website=planecrashmap.com}}</ref> |
