WILLOW RUN STILL ACTIVE: An estimated 62 per cent of the domestic air travel at Detroit now passes through Willow Run Airport, the main base for commercial airlines since 1946, although four carriers have switched to Detroit Metropolitan Airport since last Oct 1. Still undecided is the question of whether the remaining seven airlines will move away from Willow Run, thus abandoning the airfield as a commercial airport. The Wayne-Washtenaw counties, north-south dividing line, passes in front (east) of the terminal and the adjacent Detroit Transmission Division plant.

Cornfield Airstrip: Northfield township has its own airstrip now, a 1,600-foot runway cutting through a cornfield on the Douglas F. Nollar farm at 5766 Nollar Rd., about five miles north of Ann Arbor. The runway is part of the Northfield Aero Service, a newly-organized aircraft repair and instruction station operated by a three-man staff. Note light planes being serviced near barns in center.

For Those Who Drop In: This is how Ann Arbor's municipal airport looks to business and research executives dropping in to look over the nearby Research Park and other advantages of the city. Hangar and administrative area along State Rd. (left of aerial photograph) includes maintenance facilities and a coffee shop. Running off the right of the picture can be seen a portion of the airport's new $83,000 turf runway, now nearly completed, just beyond the point where it intersects an existing paved runway. At bottom center is the Pittsfield Township Hall on W. Ellsworth Rd.
