Pilot's Paradise: Munising's Hanley Field 5Y7
In early June a few of us spent a weekend in the Upper Peninsula. Flying the UP is different than flying the farm field of the the lower peninsula. There are large forests, more lakes, fewer roads, and of course Lake Superior. This is what brought us to Munising, MI, Lake Superior and the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Arriving at the newly renovated Hanley Field was a joy. This airport has been neglected for a couple of decades and now would make a great hub for people exploring the U.P. with their aircraft. The runway is smooth and long enough for any single engine aircraft I can think of and the community offers everything you need from a rustic get away to a romantic weekend with ...

Flying planes limited to around 100kts adds to the adventure because it's going to a couple of days to transit. In that time you deal with weather, overnighting, and keeping motivated. In th...

      I've got plenty of seat time and the more I get the less desire I have to land on asphalt. This has nothing to do with the airplane, but the pilots attitude about flying. Once you get it you get it. A little more time in the seat might help you get it :-)
