I have driven past this airport at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula many times on my way to the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. I always called it the Bumblebee Airport because of the black and yellow roof. It is actually the Woolsey Memorial Airport and the stone building was an old creamery when the field was part of a dairy farm. The airport is named in honor of military pilot Clinton F Woolsey who died while flying in the Pan-American Goodwill Flight of 1926- 1927. You can read more about him on my post HERE
For now the airport sits covered in snow waiting for spring when airplanes come flying in and landing on the grassy runways.
