Antrim County Airport Postcard.

This aerial view captures the layout of the Antrim County Airport tucked into the beautiful Northern Michigan landscape. It’s a great perspective on how the town and the airfield coexist with the surrounding lakes and forests. A quintessential summer view of the "Chain of Lakes" region.

Heading to the Upper Peninsula for today's postcard! 🌲✈️

This postcard captures the quiet atmosphere of the Iron Mountain airport. I love the functional beauty of these twin arched hangars and the scattered light aircraft waiting on the grass. It’s a wonderful look at how aviation connected even the more remote parts of Michigan during the mid-20th century.

Grayling Michigan Airport Postcard.

This real photo postcard captures a "MICH NG" (Michigan National Guard) encampment at the Grayling airport. Between the rows of aircraft, the field tents, and that skeleton observation tower, you can really feel the scale of the operations hosted here.
