Living in a town with its own airport has some very cool advantages — you can often find someone to take you up in the air and see your home from an entirely new perspective!

Ann Arbor has a surprisingly large general aviation community; several flight schools and other clubs & organizations call the Ann Arbor Airport home. And A2's aviation history dates all the way back to the early 1900s — the club I fly with (the
Michigan Flyers)
was donated a
Wright Model B in 1915. Today, thousands of aviators take to the skies over Ann Arbor every year; the airport's two runways average 161 takeoffs & landings every day.
