I just returned from our Chapter 304 EAA meeting, and a guest speaker
announced that he has put together a list of all private airstrips in
the State of Michigan. It should be ready for publication in about a
month. He has been compiling it for over two years. He is meeting with
his lawyer to iron out all the legal aspects of such a publication. It
will sell for $20. I told him to put me on the list. He said that he
contacted hundreds of strip owners, and they were very willing to be
added to his list, with very few exceptions. He said that the current
Michigan Airport Directory lists about 200+ airports, and his list will
provide about 500+ private landing strips. He even had yours, Deke.
Hell, he's even got Howland Field on there! He also said that around
Napoleon and Brooklyn there are 20-some strips....and added "I don't
know how you guys keep from running into one another."
When it's done, the list will show nearest town, owners name and phone
number, lat and long, length of runway(s), slope (if any), turf or
paved, etc. I'll let you all know when he is ready to sell the
directory.

Thanks Lynn. I recall talking to him a few times while he picked my brain
about local grass strips around here. I think what he's putting together is
an excellent tool for all of us, especially when we're looking around for a
good place to go to breakfast. Often the municipal airport is 3 miles or
more from town and with this directory if there are any small farm strips
around within walking distance of an eatery, we'll know about them. Many
other more doors open up for us, especially for emergency landing areas.
Thanks for letting us know.
